Floodplain Storage

Floodplain Storage Shows areas where there is the potential for floodplain storage. This is where flood water may be stored and slowed by natural features of the land. This map will be used in the Flood Risk Management Planning process to select the most appropriate action to take to tackle flood risk and will not be used in isolation. Please refer to the SEPA website for more information on natur

Dredging

Dredging, or sediment management, is the removal of sediment from a river channel. Rivers naturally change shape and direction through time. They move sediment, comprising of silt, sand, gravel, pebbles, cobbles, and boulders, when there is high flow. The amount of sediment moved will normally increase during and after large floods, often resulting in significant changes in rivers. Climate change

We expect all regulated operators to comply with their environmental obligations. This is a key element of Our approach to regulation. We also expect those operators to be responsible for managing and understanding the

Diffuse pollution priority catchments have been identified by SEPA as catchments failing to meet environmental standards. Each catchment has a dedic
