The Water Environment and Water Services (Scotland) Bill will involve Councils in the preparation of River Basin Management Plans to ensure the maintenance of water quality and the water environment. It will not provide additional powers to Councils to carry out flood control measures but may limit the types of engineering works a Council or others can carry out in or adjacent to a river.
