Working together to protect and improve Scotland's water environment: Getting involved in developing the second river basin plan

Overview

We are currently seeking comments from public bodies involved in management of the water environment, together with land and water managers, and commercial users on the development of the second river basin management plan.

The consultation:

• outlines the timetable and work programme for the development of the second river basin management plan in 2015;
• highlights the opportunities and structures/groups in place to enable you to influence the development of the second plan;
• provides you with the opportunity to let us know of any additional ways in which you would like to get involved in river basin planning;
• sets out how we propose to develop a second plan that enables more efficient and integrated management.

What happens next

Your comments will be used to shape how the updated river basin plan will be developed.

A summary of the consultation responses will be published by June 2013 explaining how your input has been used to influence the river basin planning process. It will be distributed to those who have submitted comments as well as being published on our website.
