Abstract

The pre-conference tour prior to the 2008 British Dam Society conference in Warwick was to Earlswood and Rotton Park reservoirs, canal reservoirs built in the early 19th century. British Waterways, the undertaker for these reservoirs, is responsible for 3200 km of canal and river navigations in England, Wales and Scotland. Ninety reservoirs provide the water needed for lockage, evaporation and seepage losses. There are three reservoirs at Earlswood – Engine pool, Windmill pool and Terry's pool. They were constructed in the early 19th century to supply the Stratford-upon-Avon canal, a function which they serve to this day.
