	Water purification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Upland lakes and reservoirs - typically located in the headwaters of rivers systems, upland reservoirs are usually sited above any human habitation and may be surrounded by some form of protection zone to restrict the opportunities for contamination.
		Storage- Water from rivers may also be stored in bankside reservoirs for periods between a few days and many months to allow natural biological purification to take place.
		This is especially important if treatment is to be by slow sand filters The filtered water is then treated to remove any microscopic organisms including protozoa and bacteria.

		Bankside storage reservoirs, like QEII, provide a short-term reserve of abstracted river water for treatment and eventual supply of drinking water to consumers.
		Mostly, the crucial factor is the difference between the temperatures in the river and the reservoir: only when the inflow is colder than the reservoir water is stratification likely.
		Our third figure shows one case where a near-empty reservoir is filled (at what the engineers tell us is the maximum rates) in the late autumn and cold river water tends to stay at the bottom.

	Eurasian Water Milfoil
		The preferred habitat for Eurasian water-milfoil is fresh or brackish water of fish ponds, lakes, slow-moving streams, reservoirs, and canals.
		The amount of light reaching the plant can be limited by changing water levels using bankside plantings or floating plant species, light limiting dyes, or shade barriers.
		Barriers are used to prevent the movement and spread of aquatic weeds in ponds and lakes.

	BANKSIDE STORAGE AND INFILTRATION SYSTEMS (ENV 9037) Final Report to the Department of the Environment DoE 3266 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A feasibility study on the use of bankside storage and bankside infiltration for the protection of supplies from river abstractions, identifying the costs, advantages and disadvantages of such installations has been undertaken.
		Relatively little information was available from the literature relating to the water quality of bankside reservoirs and the use of infiltration systems.
		The responses to the questionnaire revealed a range of views ranging from the opinion that bankside storage is an essential component of water supply from rivers to the view that intake protection in the form of monitoring is adequate.

		The alteration of water-courses has led to a reduction in bankside habitat, a loss of reedbeds and marshes and changing patterns in the erosion and deposition of sediments in the river bed.
		Abberton Reservoir is of international importance for its waterfowl populations while Hanningfield and the reservoirs along the Lea are also of significance.
		Aim to increase the quality of bankside habitat in the county by 10% and associated riverine habitat (marsh, fen, wet woodland) by 15%.

	Fish production in irrigation canals A review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Owing to the extensive collection of data on primary production and fish populations in reservoirs and rivers, it has been possible to formulate models which, given certain parameters, can be used to predict fishery yields or fish production in these environments (see Beveridge, 1984).
		In the case of reservoirs, this may provide a rich source of allochthonous energy to the canal, in the form of plankton.
		The shallows and deeps which characterise natural rivers and contribute significantly to their diversity of habitats and species, are not present in irrigation canals, bankside and littoral vegetation is often discouraged, and the benthic fauna is reduced (Aliyev, 1976).

		Hundreds of acres of reservoirs and lakes offer the angler the experience of every kind of stillwater trout fishing they could dream of.
		Many reservoirs are peaty where trout are keen to move to food and a bit of colour in the water helps the fisher.

	Hampshire County Council
		Wessex Water has rejected water abstraction on environmental grounds and is focusing attention in the south of its region on the Blashford Lakes complex which appears to have potential to meet water supply demands without having a detrimental impact on the environment.
		The National Rivers Authority (Wessex Region) supports the case of need for the development of the Blashford Lakes as reservoirs and confirms that the alternatives such as increased groundwater abstraction and direct river abstraction are unacceptable.
		(vi) Reservoir safety: I can understand public concern about the risk of flooding from the proposed Ibsley reservoir but these safety considerations are dealt with under the provisions of the Reservoirs Act 1975 which requires that a Certificate of Approval is granted by a Panel Engineer before the lake can be brought into use.

		In the past, streams and other watercourses have had their banks straightened and reprofiled for various reasons including management of water flow, and to ease the cutting of bankside, marginal and aquatic vegetation.
		Where compatible with water management, banks can be altered and diversified to improve the habitat for wildlife, and soften their appearance.
		Reservoirs, dams and other water-impounding structures may need to retain an even profile and short vegetation to allow easy inspection of the structure, and to prevent any erosion.

	Fisheries.co.uk - Earlswood Reservoir, Earlswood, Solihull
		Earlswood Lakes are three attractive large reservoirs set in pleasant wooded countryside next to the village of Earlswood to the south of Solihull.
		However, anglers are reminded that these are reservoirs and water levels usually go down during the summer months as water is pumped to maintain navigation in the nearby canal.
		Earlswood Lakes is the biggest thing in the village of Earlswood and its reservoirs, roadways and causeways cannot be missed.

	Bankside reservoir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bankside reservoirs are man-made reservoirs generally sited close to a river from which water is pumped to be used for potable water supply.
		This is particularly advantageous in enabling low-lamd river waters to be used which may be carrying pathogens from upstream agricultural use or sewage disposal.

		It is abundant in the Chesapeake Bay, the tidal Potomac River, and several Tennessee Valley reservoirs.
		Two theories exist as to how it entered North America: (1) it escaped from an aquarium, or (2) it was brought in attached to commercial or private boats.
		Bankside plantings, floating native plant species, light limiting dyes, or shade barriers are effective ways of reducing the amount of light reaching the plants and may reduce overall growth rates.

		It is not often one comes across a man-made water which captures the imagination and pleases the eye as much as this one does.
		It is leased and run as a fishery by Dunfermline Artisans A.C. The fishery is run well, and the Artisans have regular stocking policy on the main reservoir, putting in rainbows on a weekly basis allowing for regular catches to be made.
		The North Bank (main reservoir) is particularly popular, and there is a bit of competition to see who can get to 'The Hole In The Wall' first - a reliable hot-spot.

		Storage ponds are increasingly being used by the horticultural industry on the coastal plain to retain glasshouse run-off for use in irrigation.
		The release of excess fish stocks from fishing lakes and from garden ponds into countryside ponds is becoming a problem in Sussex and in some areas is having a serious effect on populations of great crested newt due to predation of newt larvae.
		Particular issues will be the potential for retaining or replacing overgrown bankside habitats, and ponds that have formed in the line of the old canals.

		The international reservoirs of Amistad and Falcon are 82 percent full, and the river's zigzagging final 55 miles, though windswept and lethargic, actually carry water to the gulf, unlike in dry years.
		The river was about 40 feet wide and soon would bloat to 10 times that width as thickets of carrizo reeds and brush on the banks thinned to grass and mud.
		An agent pulled a pair of blue swim shorts from bankside brush and yelled, "They are soaked." The shorts, with the brand-name label "No Boundaries," marked the spot where an immigrant changed into dry clothes after fording the river.

	FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AND OPTIMISATION OF A PILOT-SCALE STRAW BASED BANKSIDE FERMENTER FOR CONTROL OF ALGAL GROWTH (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The growth of blue-green algae in raw water storage reservoirs may present problems in terms of drinking water supply and the recreational use of these water bodies.
		Methods of controlling algal growth (to minimise such problems) need to be investigated in order to ascertain their potential, and to establish the problems associated with their practical application.
		However there is a need to establish an acceptable way of dosing larger water bodies, such as water storage reservoirs, with the algistatic factor produced by decomposing straw.

	Rivers LBAP - Gloucestershire
		The River Wye is influenced by the release of water from reservoirs in the headwaters of the river, in accordance with a regulation order.
		Many Gloucestershire watercourses have less tree cover than is desirable and bankside trees such as old willow pollards are often managed unsympathetically.
		Recreational activities such as boating, water sports or angling can disturb wildlife and damage can be caused to marginal or bankside vegetation for example from boat wash or trampling and through associated development such as slipways and launch points.

		Taking these two principals into consideration the ideal waters would be small shallow rivers, commonly chalk streams, drained canals or full navigational pathways with a maximum depth of 2.5 metres; the width of the canal is the main restriction.
		Conversely, the littoral zones of lakes and reservoirs lend their self to efficient electrofishing especially if there are many bank side features such as overhanging bushes, trees or reed beds.
		These are used to access the underneath of bankside vegetation, a common area for larger canal fish to reside.

		On larger western reservoirs I've seen numerous occasions where trout will collect off the downwind side of a point.
		When you encounter these obvious lake points on a windy day, look closely and you'll notice a collection line between the rough water outside the point, and the calmer water just downwind and inside of it.
		As in a river, you'll want to fish this line zealously, as this is a spot where wind blown forage of all kinds will slow down, collect and begin to sink.
