Scottish Power are currently applying to reduce the compensation flow in the River Doon from 45million gallons day down to 28mgd and to transfer even more of the Doon’s water down the Kirkcudbrightshire Dee.
This is allegedly under the pretence of complying with EU regulations although it is understood that they intend to fit more turbines in the Dee to generate more money for themselves. The River Doon supports iconic species such as Atlantic salmon and endangered freshwater pearl mussels and is a hugely important social, recreational, and economic resource in Ayrshire.
Please complete the petition online to help prevent this from happening.
