Operational monitoring has also been deployed to assess the status of those water bodies which are not currently at risk, but could be at risk of deterioration. The majority of Scottish water bodies are not at risk of failing to meet good status standards. However, some may still be at risk of deterioration (e.g. from high to good status), so are being monitored under the operational monitoring network. These water bodies were grouped together, based on geographical proximity and being of a similar typology. Once grouped, approximately 20% of the water bodies were selected for monitoring; the group will be classified using data extrapolated from the monitored sites. This is not applicable.

Investigative monitoring will also be put in place to meet other monitoring requirements, e.g. work to achieve biodiversity objectives and monitoring of water bodies below the WFD reporting size threshold. The investigative network is, by its nature, reactive and transient. Consequently this network will continue to evolve to meet new monitoring requirements. UK01SCQUANTGW Y N N The programme and network of sites has been designed following the development of a conceptual model, risk assessment and characterisation of each groundwater body (or group of bodies). Quantitative monitoring is being undertaken at a sub-set of surveillance sites. Sites have been selected following the development of conceptual model, risk assessment and characterisation of each groundwater body. Potential sites identified and then assessed for suitability in terms of meeting the objectives of the monitoring programme(s). Sites must also fulfill the quality criteria set out in EU monitoring guidance.

SEPA has undertaken an extensive programme of drilling new boreholes; this is ongoing and the network is expected to be complete by 2009. The new borehole sites have been identified based on geological and pressure context, as well as data on levels and flow direction. Monitoring has also been undertaken where surface water interactions are significant. These groups will be classified by the data obtained from the representative monitoring points. Sites have been selected following the development of conceptual model, risk assessment and characterisation of each groundwater body. Potential sites identified and then assessed for suitability in terms of meeting the objectives of the monitoring programme(s).

Groundwater bodies have been grouped and the data obtained will be extrapolated between them. From December 2006, surveillance monitoring will continue at existing key sites as described above and SEPA will continue to develop the groundwater surveillance network during the coming years.
