Abstract/Summary

The study addressed six main research questions. 1. What is the current condition of all rivers, lochs and ground waters in the River Leven catchment, based on available information? 2. What are the main pressures on the aquatic environment and the sources of those pressures? 3. What are the environmental management priorities for improving the water environment? 4. What is the baseline socio-economic condition of the River Leven catchment? 5. What is the current condition of Loch Leven and its catchment, and how have improvements supported socio-economic development? 6. What are the gaps in evidence and how can they be addressed? The output from this project provides a “first-pass” assessment of our understanding of the River Leven catchment. It is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all of the data and information available. Draft environmental priorities are suggested for further consideration.
