The River Devon ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Duibhe)) is a tributary of the River Forth in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. ==Geography and hydrology== The source of the river is Blairdenon Hill in the Ochils at an altitude of . Upper areas have been dammed, creating Upper Glendevon, Lower Glendevon and Castlehill reservoirs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Devon, River )〕 The Devon then flows east and southeast through Glendevon, turning southwest at Crook of Devon and then continuing westwards, meandering across its flood plain along the foot of the Ochil Hills. It reaches the River Forth to the west of Alloa at the small village of Cambus. The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, (part of UK's Natural Environment Research Council, NERC) describes the catchment area thus: "Headwaters are steep; lower valley is broad and very flat. Bedrock extrusive igneous rocks, 50% overlain by superficial deposits. Land use arable in the valley; grassland in headwaters, some forest." The catchment covers an area of 181 km2. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「River Devon, Clackmannanshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
