Clyde

 

a river in Great Britain, in southern Scotland. Length, 170 km (208 km with the estuary); basin area, 4,100 sq km. It originates on the northern slopes of the southern Scotch upland, flowing in its upper course through low mountains and then across a hilly plain, forming rapids above the city of Lanark. The Clyde flows into the Firth of Clyde. The average yearly water discharge at the mouth is approximately 70 cu m per sec. In fall and winter the water level is high. The city of Glasgow, on the Clyde River, is accessible to oceangoing vessels; higher (to the rapids) there is river navigation. A hydroelectric power plant is on the rapids. The Clyde is joined by canals with the North Sea.
