Aquatic Classification

There are a number of significant environmental problems caused by a number of pressures, including diffuse and point source pollution, alterations to beds, banks and shores, alterations to water levels and flows and the presence of invasive non-native species. In order to measure these pressures and their potential effects, we use an aquatic classification system which covers rivers, lochs, estuaries, coastal and groundwater bodies. These are split into management units called water bodies, with a classification produced for each body (the number of water bodies between years varies slightly, as some water body boundaries are reviewed to ensure that they can be managed appropriately).

We produce an annual Water Framework Directive (WFD) Classification for all the water bodies in Scotland. Classification results for 2007 to the current year can be found on the Water Classification Hub. Read the State of Scotland's Water Environment 2024 summary report (MS Word, 1.17 MB). Most of our water environment is already in a good condition and subject to fewer pressures than most o

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.

This section is designed to offer information and guidance to farmers and those interested in farming activities, and to help promote sustainable agriculture in Scotland. Agriculture is a fundamental part of Scotland’s economy – and it’s our responsibility to make sure that farming and the environment benefit one another. Around three quarters of Scotland’s land area is used for agriculture – that’s more than 5.5 million hectares. Most of this is used as grassland for rearing livestock – about a fifth is used for arable farming, with the most productive land locate

Shellfish water protected areas

Legislation directs SEPA to assess and classify each shellfish protected area. To deliver this we work closely with Food Standards Scotland (FSS). FSS sample, analyse and report water quality in production areas throughout the year to ensure shellfish are safe for consumption, or determine if they require further treatment. At the end of each year FSS provide SEPA with this data who use it to clas

Priority catchments

Diffuse Pollution in the Rural Environment 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. Each catchment has a dedic
