This free webinar will provide an overview of the new groundwater quality standards for Scotland, including the key changes to Scottish Environment Protection Agency's (SEPA’s) associated guidance on assigning groundwater criteria for pollutant inputs, and on land contamination impacts on the water environment.

This updated guidance is relevant to hydrogeological risk assessments in support of planning applications, regulation of authorised activities, and Part IIA.
