Statement

These are the Water Framework Directive (WFD) River Basin Districts (RBDs) for Scotland. River basin plans and advisory groups are required by sections 15 and 17 of the Water Environment and Water Services (Scotland) Act 2003. They help SEPA with WFD river basin management plan production. The RBDs are based on river catchment boundaries and were defined after consultation with Stakeholders. RBDs are the largest reporting unit under the WFD.
