Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order identifies those bodies of water used for the abstraction of drinking water, as required by section 6(1) of the Water Environment and Water Services (Scotland) Act 2003 (“the Act”); in doing so it implements the Scottish Ministers' obligation to identify such bodies of water as set out in paragraph 1 of Article 7 of Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy (O.J. No. L 327, 22.12.2000, p.1).
This is done by reference to maps prepared for the purposes of the Order and laid before the Scottish Parliament in accordance with section 6(2) of the Act.
The maps identify the bodies of surface water and groundwater in the Scotland River Basin District which are used for the abstraction of drinking water and either provide more than 10 cubic metres per day, or serve more than 50 persons, or are intended for such use.
This Order revokes the Water Environment (Drinking Water Protected Areas) (Scotland) Order 2005.
The Order and maps will be published by the Scottish Ministers and will be available on their website at .
