PBCC is a free tool which estimates the per-person carbon footprint for every Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) in England. LSOAs are small statistical areas with a population of about 1,500 - 3,000. It draws on a wide range of data and research to give a representative view of how carbon footprints vary across the country. Last Updated: 08/09/2022
The flood maps are designed to help you understand how you could be affected by flooding. The maps show you areas which are likely to flood from rivers, the sea and surface water. The flood maps are a public tool and used by a wide variety of people for a range of work.
The LIS COMAH Environmental Risk Assessment is a map based tool that allows you to search for data relating to any sensitive features/area/land located around your COMAH establishment for the purpose of identifying any possible sensitive receptors with respect to your identified credible major accident scenarios and Source-Pathway-Receptor linkages.
SEPA has approximately 275 rain gauges which measure the amount of precipitation (mm) via Tipping Bucket Rain Gauges (TBR). The data reported here gives accumulated totals for each 15 min period. The data is typically transferred once or twice per day.
This tool allows users to visualise the condition of the water environment and actions that have been and will be implemented to protect and improve Scotland's water environment. This guidance is designed to help users explore information relating to RBMP activities.
SEPA has records for river levels at 563 sites around Scotland. The main reason that SEPA records river levels is to calculate the flows in the river. Knowledge of the flow of water in a river is important in order to effectively manage that water. River flow information is also useful in evaluating changes in the environment due to changes in land use or climate change. Flood warning is one of the main drivers for collecting river level data.
The Water Classification Hub shows the status of the surface waters, ground waters and protected areas in Scotland, classified under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) scheme.
The amount of wastewater leaving the treatment works is measured and often referred to as ‘flow’. If there’s heavy rain, the sewer network may struggle to cope with the amount of wastewater and rainwater in it. The screened wastewater, which can be around 95% rainwater, is released through storm overflows. The storm overflows act as a pressure valve to release excess water through outfalls into rivers and the sea. This protects homes and communities from flooding. Releases from storm overflows are called spills. Flow data is reported every year to the Environment Agency.
Scottish Water Reported Overflow Event Data to SEPA 2018-2022 & Summary
This data set has been developed by assimilating spatial data from Scottish Natural Heritage. The whole country has not yet been surveyed and as a result the data set only displays known wetlands. The wetland inventory database comprises a number of fields that include the main WFD95 wetland type, the original habitat survey information and whether the wetland polygon is within a statutory designated site. The wetland typology (WFD95) is used as the main identifying field for each polygon in the inventory database.
The Scottish Pollutant Release Inventory (SPRI) is a Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR) and has the primary purpose of making publicly available officially reported annual releases of specified pollutants to air and water from SEPA-regulated industrial facilities. It also provides information on off-site transfers of waste and waste-water from these facilities.
The non-gas map is a detailed map of Great Britain showing the distribution of properties without a gas grid connection across local authorities, LSOAs (lower-level super output areas) and, for registered users, postcodes. For each region, the map displays: Distances from gas grid; Central heating energy source; Energy efficiency measures; Property type; Tenure; Number of rooms; Energy performance rating (EPC)
