DETR
Table Receptor Type
How can I decide
which receptors I
have around my site?
How do I use/interpret
the information on the
website?
What features are
most relevant and
where can I find detail
of them – for example
designation land,
categorisation for
water
Which agency or body
should I contact if I
need further
information on helping
me determine MATTE
potential?
What impact have
‘similar’ incidents
had, and where can I
find more information
about these?
How do I use the
information gathered
above to help me
work out
Consequence (Extent,
Severity and
Duration)?

In WIYBY, enter place or
postcode, select the
groundwater topic and
check the Aquifer Maps
(either superficial or
bedrock or both). Aquifers
will appear as coloured
areas. See also the topic
“River basin Management
Plans – Groundwater” for
current and predicted
status.
Groundwater bodies are
a distinct volume of
groundwater within an

Wales
Scotland SEPA has mapped all
bedrock aquifers and
selected extensive
sand and gravel
aquifers as
groundwater bodies,
and these underlie the
whole mainland of
Scotland and many
islands. These
groundwater bodies
can be seen on our
interactive map.
Open the map and click on
the double down arrow
next to table of contents.
From the menu click the
2008 Classification status
box. Groundwater bodies
will now be shown on the
map. Use the “identify”
icon from the menu at the
top of the map to identify
which groundwater body is
under the area being
assessed.
Other more localised sand
and gravel aquifers have
not been mapped as
groundwater bodies due to
their inherent variability
and a lack of information.
The presence of these
more localised aquifers
can only be determined
using site specific data.
