  • Scotland's Water Environment Review 2000
    Case Study 1: The Kelvin’s water quality is improving! Almost 25 km of waters in the River Kelvin catchment have improved in the last seven years from the lower classes (C and D) to higher classes (A1, A2 and B). River Kelvin catchment: water quality in 2000 compared with 2006 This significant improvement in water quality is due largely to the £67 million Kelvin Valley Sewer (KVS) Project, which resulted in the closure of a number of separate sewage treatment works (STWs) between 1997 and 2003 (see table). Sewage from a number of communities is now diverted via the valley sewer and treated to a higher standard at Glasgow’s Dalmuir STW before being discharged to the Clyde Estuary. List of STWs replaced by KVS Location of STW Date of closure Receiving water Torrance May 1997 River Kelvin Bishopbriggs February 1998 Bishopbriggs Burn Kirkintilloch (Dryfield) November 1998 Glazert Water Milton of Campsie (Birdston) February 2000 Glazert Water Queenzieburn August 2001 River Kelvin Twechar October 2001 River Kelvin Cumbernauld (Deerdykes) January 2002 Luggie Water Kilsyth January 2002 Dock Water Croy March 2002 Board Burn Auchengeich March 2003 Bothlin Burn The systematic removal of sewage inputs from the River Kelvin and its tributaries produced an immediate improvement in chemical quality and, more recently, ecological improvements downstream of the former discharges. Some of these improvements are detailed below. It is particularly encouraging that the lower reaches of both the Luggie Water and Bothin Burn recorded improved macro-invertebrate scores in 2006. Macro-invertebrates provide information on the long-term status of the river because they are slower to react to changes.
