Lineage

These are the Water Framework Directive (WFD) Sub Basin Districts (SBDs) for Scotland. Sub 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 advisory groups are based on river catchment boundaries and were defined after consultation with Stakeholders. There is a many to one relationship between SBDs and River Basin Districts (RBDs).
