Proposed Fenland reservoir…

31 Oct

…information and survey published

Anglian Water have published a website devoted to the proposed new reservoir to be built in the Fens. This is a little off-topic for us, but is nevertheless a subject of interest to anybody interested in long-term water supply issues. The principles expressed on Anglian Water’s website are laudable:

Doubts have been expressed about the wisdom of building a shallow reservoir in a notably dry region of the UK and about the practicality of pumping large quantities of fresh water across miles of unstable fenland. In addition, the proposed date for the new reservoir to enter service is 2039-41, which offers no relief to our region’s current water shortage.

The Anglian Water website is an interesting read as background to our local issues. You can find it at:
