Research and analysis: Reservoir safety post-incident annual reports

The Environment Agency has produced an annual report on reservoir incidents in the UK since 2007.
Owners and operators of statutory reservoirs in England must report incidents and submit a post-incident report form to the Environment Agency. Owners and operators of small raised reservoirs in England (those with a capacity of less than 25,000 cubic metres of water above ground level) continue to report incidents to the Environment Agency on a voluntary basis.
