The Act is separated into 3 Parts. Part 1 sets out a new regulatory regime for the safe construction and operation of reservoirs in Scotland. This replaces the regime under the Reservoirs Act 1975 and supersedes the prospective amendments to the 1975 Act in Part 7 of the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 (the 1975 Act and Part 7 of the 2009 Act are repealed). Part 2 provides for the creation of offences to support the Water Environment and Water Services (Scotland) Act 2003. Part 3 includes general provisions.
