This will: help strengthen their resilience to the intense downpours they face under climate change minimise the risk of polluting sewage spills by keeping rainwater out of sewers create fantastic places for people to live and work Urban wastewaters Over the past 20 years, SEPA has

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

River Basin Management Planning

The pattern of decline is repeated across the salmon’s North Atlantic range and is likely caused, at least in part, by the effect of climate change on the survival of salmon during their time at sea. To build resilience of Sc
