Reservoirs accounting for 90% storage [ edit ] This list contains 273 individual reservoirs, which amount to approximately 90% of total reservoir storage in the United Kingdom, sourced from the Environmental Information Data Centre.
The total dry-weather yield of Thirlmere Reservoir is reckoned at about 40,500,000 imperial gallons (184,000 m 3) per day, out of which compensation water in respect of the area now draining into the Lake 10,120 acres (41.0 km 2), amounting to 4,658,000 imperial gallons (21,180 m 3) per day average, is sent down the St. John's Beck.

This list is restricted to open bodies of fresh-water over 5 ha in area, because of the difficulty in establishing what is a pond and what is a lake.. It excludes service reservoirs used within the water supply network for the storage of drinking water and excludes water bodies on industrial sites used exclusively for industrial purposes (works ponds).

The reservoir covers 59 acres (24 hectares) and has a catchment of 1,830 acres (742 hectares), and when it is full, it holds over 113,000,000 cubic feet (3,190,000 m 3) of water. [8] The dam took eight years to complete at a cost of £1.4 million, and is located at 840 feet (256 m) above sea level.
Carsington Water is a reservoir, operated by Severn Trent Water, between Wirksworth and Kniveton in Derbyshire, England.The reservoir takes water from the River Derwent at Ambergate during winter months, pumping up to the reservoir by 10.5-kilometre (6.5 mi) long tunnels and aqueduct.
In winter, when the flow in the River Medway exceeds 275 million litres per day, river water is pumped to the reservoir for storage. There is an outlined plan to raise the water level by a further three metres with intentions of increasing the yield by up to 30% to help with the growing water demand in Southeast England.
