Whilst Moniaive did experience flooding on 30 December 2013, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) has advised that this was not as a result of hydro scheme operations but rather as a result of heavy rainfall within the Cairn Water catchment (noting that Loch Doon is not part of the Cairn Water catchment) which resulted in several watercourses breaking their banks and impacting on properties in the area.
