This report gives details of incidents reported to the Environment Agency in 2011. It also includes a summary of all the incidents reported since 2004.

They use this information to:

• investigate incidents where appropriate
• inform the reservoir industry of any trends and lessons identified
• provide information that can contribute to research into reservoir safety and incident frequency analysis

The aim of this report is to improve reservoir safety.
