	River Basin Districts - Proposals for Scotland: page 1
		River basin management planning will provide a reference point for all forms of planning that affect the water environment, and will help to drive forward the Executive’s sustainability agenda because it will integrate environmental priorities with social and economic implications.
		We propose that the southern boundary of this single river basin district should be based on catchment boundaries following the catchments draining to the Solway estuary and Tweed catchments, as shown in the map at Annex A.
		Since only a small area of the river basin lies in Scotland, it is proposed that this is combined with a neighbouring basin lying wholly in England, such as the Tees, into a single river basin district.

	NEW A1 BRIDGE OPENED OVER THE RIVER TYNE - scottwilson.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Because the Tyne Valley is officially designated as an Area of Great Landscape Value, a Nature Conservation Area and a Scottish Wildlife Trust Wildlife Area the design of the new bridge had to complement the landscape.
		The new road crosses the River Tyne at a height of 25m, requiring a bridge in the region of 220m — it would therefore have a major impact on the character of the landscape.
		The angle of the new bridge over the River Tyne and the need to make the structure as unobtrusive as possible also complicated the design process.

		The concentrations of nitrate are highest in the rivers of western Europe where agriculture is the most intensive, and lowest in northern Europe where concentrations are within background ranges.
		These are the river Rhine (which has shown recent decreases in concentrations), the River Ythan and the River Tyne in Scotland and the River Seine in France.
