Gooday, R., Anthony, S., Calrow, L., Harris, D., Skirvin, D. (2017). Non-agricultural pollution to rivers in Scotland . NERC Environmental Information Data Centre. (Dataset). https://doi.org/10.5285/eb73ca31-7eb9-479c-96be-6063e29c8a7f
Estimates of annual loads of phosphorus, sediment, nitrogen and faecal coliform from non-agricultural sources to rivers in Scotland, reported at Water Framework Directive (WFD) catchment scale. The sources of pollutants include: urban, woodland, montane areas, river bank erosion, septic tanks and sewage treatment works. Loads are estimated based upon available data (e.g. septic tank licences) and modelling (bank erosion). The values specify phosphorous, nitrogen or sediment losses in kilograms per year and faecal coliform in 10^6 colony forming units (cfu) per year.
