Water regulations in the Scottish environment
Water regulations in the Scottish environment
Activities such as discharges to the water environment, abstractions, and physical works in rivers and lochs can threaten the water environment and the animals and people that rely on it.
This section explains the regulations that protect Scotland’s water environment, what kind of permissions you will need and information on any charges that may apply.

Water levels
Information regarding how we monitor and record water levels on lochs, rivers and coastlines around Scotland.
Information regarding how we monitor and record water levels on lochs, rivers and coastlines around Scotland.
We monitor and record water levels on lochs, rivers and coastlines around Scotland, producing valuable information used by businesses, households and leisure users. We monitor water levels at 392 sites throughout Scotland. Most of the stations are situated on rivers, but we also collect data from several tide and loch level recorders.
Why are water levels monitored?

Long-term river water quality indicator
SEPA publishes a long-term river water quality indicator, based on a network of sites covering 253 water bodies (rivers or sections of rivers). This indicator is based on a consistent set of five water quality parameters which are sensitive to organic pollution, nutrients and toxic substances, and which provide a measure of species diversity across approximately 10% of all water bodies.

Monitoring
In 2011, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) established an indicator of river water quality based on a network of sites covering 253 water bodies (rivers or sections of rivers), which account for approximately 10% of all water bodies. The indicator is based on a consistent set of five water quality parameters which are sensitive to organic pollution, nutrients and toxic s

Rivers are a vital part of our landscape and a great asset to Scotland. They provide wildlife corridors, opportunities for recreation and wellbeing and resources for farming, drinking water, beverage production and hydroelectricity.
Like many of our natural resources our rivers are under pressure and in places, damaged. This includes straightened and embanked channels which ar

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:
Making sustainable choices about how to invest in protecting the quality of Scotland's wa
Water
Scotland's water is famed worldwide. It's critical in the production and branding of some of our biggest exports, and a big draw for tourists. The water environment in Scotland is generally in good condition. However, there are environmental problems, including diffuse pollution, discharges of waste water, abstractions and historic physical alterations.
The management of water plays a significant
