Construction is underway on 7 new ‘run of the river’ hydro schemes in Glen Etive. Four tributaries in the Glen are often paddled and an unprecedented legal agreement has been reached with the developers that will allow paddlers to shut down the hydro schemes for a few hours when they want to paddle any of these tributaries: Allt a’ Chaorainn / Allt Mheuran / Allt Ceitlein & Allt Fhaolain.
Over the next 6 months, we need paddlers to submit details whenever they paddle any of the tribs. There are new levels gauges at the get-in point for each trib.
This information will inform how much water will flow down the whitewater sections of each trib when the on-demand systems are activated.
Your help and support is vital and appreciated.
