Burnhope Reservoir
Burnhope Reservoir ( ) is a reservoir above the village of Wearhead, County Durham.
The reservoir was created by the construction of an earth embankment dam across the valley of Burnhope Burn, a tributary of the River Wear, 1 km above Wearhead. Construction of the dam began in 1931 and was completed in 1937;〔 an extensive network of narrow gauge railways, the Burnhope Reservoir railway, was used during the construction of the dam. Filling of the reservoir commenced in 1936 and resulted in the drowning of the former village of Burnhope.
Burnhope Reservoir was a joint project of the Durham County Water Board and the Sunderland and South Shields Water Company. It is now owned and operated by Northumbrian Water. The reservoir supplies water to the Wear Valley treatment works at Wearhead and there is a pipeline connection to Waskerley Reservoir, which supplies Honey Hill water treatment works. The reservoir is also used to meet regulatory discharges into the River Wear to compensate for abstraction of water at Chester-le-Street further downstream.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Final Water Resources Management Plan 2010-2035 ))〕
