River tidal barrier to protect and power Clydeside

The Scottish Government is set to open discussions on a proposed £250 million Clyde tidal barrier that could revolutionise flood defences in the west of Scotland and produce enough electricity to power every home in Glasgow.

The plans have been put forward by specialists at Strathclyde Univer­sity, who say the scheme could become reality within the next few years.
