# The Water Environment (River Basin Management Planning: Further Provision) (Scotland) Regulations 2013, Regulation 11: Waters used for the abstraction of drinking water


For each body of water identified under section 6(1) (bodies of water used for the abstraction of drinking water) of the Act, the programme of measures for the river basin district within which the body of water is located must ensure the necessary protection of the body of water with the aim of avoiding deterioration in the quality of that body of water in order to reduce the level of purification treatment required in the production of drinking water.
