SEPA and Scottish Water have been working together to improve the way decisions are taken to protect and enhance Scotland's environment, recover value from sewage, and prevent flooding using techniques that make our towns and cities better places to live.
This work has unlocked innovation in three key areas:

Frequently asked questions
To make this section of our website easier to use, we have broken down the questions most commonly asked of us into two sections: Section A gives an introduction to the regulations and how they are enforced and may be of use to smaller businesses and contractors. Section B goes into more detail and describes definitions, concepts and processes and is a useful resource for consultants, regulators and larger businesses and contractors. It also gives more information about how the regulations differ between Scotland and England.

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.
Most of our water environment is already in a good condition and subject to fewer pressures than most other European waters.
However, there are significant environmental problems caused by a numbe
