Derwent Reservoir, North East England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- See also: Derwent Reservoir, Derbyshire
Derwent Reservoir is a reservoir on the River Derwent, on the border between County Durham and Northumberland, in England. It is west of Consett.
The reservoir is an integral part of the water supply network in North East England, owned and managed by Northumbrian Water. It is the principal supply source for water to the Tyne and Wear metropolitan area.
The flow of the River Derwent, can be supplemented, when necessary, by a pipeline from the much larger Kielder Reservoir in Northumberland. However this cannot top up the reservoir itself.
