Diffuse pollution in the rural environment
Information on our rural diffuse pollution work.
Information on our rural diffuse pollution work.
A programme of rural diffuse pollution work started in March 2010, to help deliver the objectives outlined in the river basin management plans (RBMPs) for the Scotland and Solway-Tweed river basin districts.
Diffuse pollution priority catchments have been identified by SEPA as catchments failing to meet environmental standards. Visit our diffuse pollution priority catchments page for more informat
Diffuse pollution in the urban environment (SUDS)
Sustainable urban drainage systems
SUDS, or sustainable urban* drainage systems are a sequence of water management practices and facilities designed to drain surface water in a manner that will provide a more sustainable approach than what has been the conventional practice of routing run-off through a pipe to a watercourse.
* The use of the word 'urban' is frequently omitted, but the meaning is s
Inner Clyde Estuary monitoring buoy, Firth of Clyde
Continuous water quality monitoring equipment was deployed in the inner Clyde estuary adjacent to Govan in 2011. Low dissolved oxygen concentrations are known to occur in the inner Clyde estuary at this location as a result of the decomposition of organic wastes from discharges and urban run off.
Limited mixing between fresh water and more dense saltwater leads to large differences between the sal

Groundwater, how it is regulated and the guidanceand legislation that is used to protect it.
Groundwater resources are essential to many individuals, companies and communities to supply water for drinking, agriculture and industry. Groundwater also maintains wetlands and river flow during dry spells and is vital to the maintenance of their rich ecology and biodiversity.
We aim to provide a sustainable future for Scotland's groundwater resources by protecting the water environment and othe

National Marine Monitoring buoy network
The SEPA Marine National Environmental Monitoring Buoy Network provides real time, high frequency environmental data from strategic locations around the coast, as part of SEPA obligations to monitoring the marine environment.
What is being monitored?
Continuous monitoring equipment gathers dissolved oxygen, water temperature, salinity and chlorophyll-a data at regular intervals. The data is stored
Local authority contaminated land support
Local authority requests
Local authorities may require information and water pollution advice from SEPA when considering whether land is statutorily contaminated.
Form A signposts the available information.
Form B should be used, with reference to Form F, when seeking water pollution advice.

Groundwater
This type of flooding is caused by water rising up from underlying rocks or flowing from springs. Groundwater is generally a contributing factor to flooding rather than the primary source. This map shows you where groundwater could influence the duration and extent of flooding from other sources. It does not show where groundwater alone could cause flooding.
