City of Aberdeen
In the City of Aberdeen, we analysed 7 data points. Of these data points, 0% showed unacceptable levels of nutrient pollution. This compares to 26% in Scotland overall, meaning that the City of Aberdeen had better than average water quality.
Freshwater sites in Scotland demonstrate significantly better conditions compared to England, where 61% of water samples showed unacceptable levels of nutrient pollution. You can explore all of the datapoints from Scotland and the whole of the UK on the interactive Great UK WaterBlitz map. Despite its relatively clean freshwater, the presence of unacceptable pollution levels in some of Scotland’s tested sites highlights that challenges remain.
Our next Great UK WaterBlitz event will take place over four days in September.
Ongoing water testing throughout these events is crucial for establishing a comprehensive and dynamic picture of the nation’s freshwater health, enabling the identification of pollution hotspots, tracking changes over time, and providing vital data to advocate for stronger environmental policies.
