UKCEH scientists’ novel monitoring techniques and innovative capabilities provide data and solutions to drive effective reservoir water management practice.

Reservoir management challenges

Reservoirs are essential assets for water companies, offering a means to stabilise water availability, manage water supply and prevent flooding. Over time, their use has significantly evolved beyond their original function to encompass energy production and irrigation.

Managing reservoirs is complex in nature, requiring close monitoring of water flows and pollution levels. As climate change and population growth impact water availability, water companies are facing ever more formidable challenges.
