From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Homewood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has been much hyperventilating about low water levels in N Scotland.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it turns out that the water at Loch Ness has been lower on four occasions since 1998:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loch Ness has dropped to its lowest level in five years, according to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sepa said drier than usual conditions in recent months were likely to be a “significant contributing factor” for the drop.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loch Ness is Scotland\u2019s largest freshwater loch by volume.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can hold more water \u2013 7,452 million cubic metres \u2013 <\/em>than all English and Welsh lakes together<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sepa said its data showed the water level was at its lowest since the current loch level monitoring station began operating in 2016.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency said lower levels had been recorded at the previous station in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2010.<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
