There used to be a reservoir on the Coventry canal - Oldbury , near Mancetter. There was a pollution problem with it some years ago which never got resolved apparently, and it has since been sold off and destroyed. Elsewhere they have reservoirs which have been leased to other organisations and their ability to take water has been severely restricted - Stockton, Olton, Chasewater to name but three, and they haven't been maintaining Rudyard Lake properly. We're now paying the price for their shortsightedness, global warming has been going on for a while.........
