Abstract

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.
