The rest is stored for Hydro Generation at peak times.<br /><br />Awe Barrage here.<br /><br />http://goo.gl/maps/3V3gp<br /><br /><br />The River Awe used to be famous for the size and numbers of the salmon running the river. Since the Hydro dam was built and a not-very-effective fish lift was installed instead of the more expensive salmon ladder, the very large fish have virtually disappeared.

It presents a challenge but I suspect if a salmon can get through then so can a larger more powerful creature. <br /><br />If the Loch Awe Monster is anything like the Loch Ness Monster, it can spend short times on land or shallow water.<br /><br />All speculation of course!<br /><br />A webcam at this place would be an interesting idea.Glasgow Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597014995112568086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-85970117147977863682011-10-08T00:21:39.965-07:002011-10-08T00:21:39.965-07:00"The first is that any creature in Loch Awe h...<i>"The first is that any creature in Loch Awe has an easier access to the sea than the Loch Ness Monster would."</i><br /><br />How would it deal with the Awe Barrage?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
