Details

The Environment Agency has produced this guide to help owners of small embankment reservoirs spot common problems and what they might need to do to prevent a reservoir from failing.

This guide is not a substitute for professional advice. If in doubt, you should always consult a qualified civil engineer, ideally a reservoir panel engineer.
