Water Environment - Research
The Water Environment Unit uses research to support
policy development. Projects undertaken cover a wide range
of issues related to the aquatic environment and the types
of research commissioned reflect that diversity. Where
appropriate, research projects are undertaken jointly with
other organisations including
SEPA,
SNIFFER and others.
Recent examples of research include work related to
bathing water
quality, the
Water
Framework Directive and
aquaculture.
