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 Tottiford, Kennick, and Trenchford Reservoirs are three man-made, connected fresh water reservoirs near Hennock, Devon. They form three of the eight reservoirs built within the Dartmoor National Park , and were built to serve the water needs of Torquay , [ 1 ] around 13 miles (21 km) away.

The reservoir's purpose is to provide compensating discharges into the Kielder Transfer Scheme, where water can be transferred to the North Tyne, Wear and the Tees to support abstractions of water further downstream while maintaining minimum acceptable levels in the rivers in times of drought.
Damming the mouth of the Coire Glas valley will create the upper reservoir. The crest of the dam will be around 700m long and 92m above ground level at its tallest point. When full, the reservoir will be approximately 1km long and 500m across, [2]: Figure 3.1 with a maximum surface area of 0.63km 2.
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.
