From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lunan Water is an easterly flowing coastal River in Angus, Scotland that discharges to the North Sea a few miles north of the town of Arbroath.[1] Draining chiefly agricultural lands, this stream has a moderate level of turbidity and a pH level of approximately 8.7.[2] Other nearby watercourses discharging to the North Sea include River North Esk and River South Esk both to the north.
