 Our Aim

The Metropolitan Glasgow Strategic Drainage Partnership (MGSDP) is a unique partnership formed by organisations involved with the operation of the sewerage and drainage network within the area – Scottish Water, Glasgow City Council, Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA).

Scottish Water is responsible for the sewerage network; Glasgow City Council is responsible for roads drainage, watercourses and flood risk in Glasgow; and SEPA is responsible for water quality and flood advice. Scottish Enterprise also has a role as it considers economic development issues and their impacts.

Metropolitan Glasgow covers a total of seven local authority areas. The Partnership recognises that its aims and objectives cannot be met without the help and involvement of these other local authorities.

The overarching aim of the Partnership is to provide a holistic approach to managing surface water which will reduce flood risk and unlock development potential while improving water quality and allowing residential areas to co-exist with the natural landscape.
