| Abstract: | The development of a new water supply source for the Fort William/Corpach and Caol area in the West Highlands of Scotland is described with particular reference to the hydrological and groundwater investigations. Attention is given to a study to reduce the level of leakage and to the analysis of improvements in water quality between well and direct river abstraction. The effect on fisheries in the River Lochy is described, and a preliminary design identified for the recommended scheme. |
