	Grafham Water - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grafham Water is a reservoir between the villages of Grafham and Perry in the English county of Cambridgeshire (Huntingdonshire District).
		The water is retained by an earth dam built in 1966 and is extracted and processed at an adjacent Anglian Water treatment plant before being piped away as drinking water.
		The reservoir supplies homes and businesses in the area and is also used for recreation, mainly sailing, angling, walking, and cycling.

	About GWSC
		Grafham is widely regarded as one of the safest venues in the country, in any conditions.
		In fact, precisely because Grafham is so open and devoid of dangerous obstacles, it is often possible to sail in wind strengths that would be unsafe anywhere else, particularly on the coast.
		Grafham Water Sailing Club is a "members' Club", run for their benefit by a successful combination of paid staff and committees drawn from the membership.

	Grafham Water (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Grafham Water was opened in 1966 for water supply.
		Other reservoirs have opened since including Anglian Waters own Rutland Water and also a myriad of smaller waters have come in on the coat tails of Grafham but in our opinion Grafham is still the number one fishery in England.
		Although Grafham is a trout water, pike and zander have come into Grafham with the water that is pumped in from the River Great Ouse.

	DEVELOPMENT OF AN ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR BLUE-GREEN ALGAL TOXINS
		Investigations of the performance using samples of Grafham Water and treated Grafham Water indicate that the method with only fluorescence detection is satisfactory for levels of microcystin-LR in the range 2-50 µg/l in reservoir waters, but that due to interferences (thought to be humic materials) it is difficult to detect levels
		The method has not been validated for other reservoir or lake waters, or other treated waters, and it is suggested that prior to using the method, some validation work is carried out using appropriate water samples.
		The limit of detection for drinking water samples is below 100 ng/l, and is about 200 ng/l for the reservoir water samples (Grafham Water) used for method validation studies.

	Alan Faulkner Memorial Award
		The Wheelyboat Trust is delighted to announce that Grafham Water is this year’s winner of the Alan Faulkner Memorial Award sponsored by Suzuki Marine.
		Access to the water is the major issue, but fisheries can do so much more to make their fishery truly inclusive.
		Grafham is the epitome of an inclusive fishery where disabled anglers are as equally valued as their able-bodied anglers.

		The design, known as a 'super active bottom baffle' is especially effective in reducing the water velocity within the pass so that fish can swim over the weir without the need to jump.
		During the day worm anglers have found it best to fish a long way out in the deeper water, local angler Bob Mummery from Benllech fished in deep water near the dam to take a good bag with at least one of his fish at around three pounds in weight.
		Such problems include the construction of weirs which impede the migration of fish to their historic spawning areas; erosion of river banks and vegetation loss caused by cattle grazing; and the effects of conifer forests on water and habitat quality.

		I turned Doncaster at 13.46pm and at that stage I had to remind myself that before I had taken off, John (my husband who also flies an LS-6-18) had assured me not to worry if the first leg took a long time.
		The second leg to Grafham Water was great, with a 4500ft cloudbase, regular 3-4 knots average and a tail wind of 12km/h.
		But the mental battle started at Grafham Water; should I abandon the task and land back at Gransden (after all I had just completed a 300km O/R) or should I go on?

		Saturday began with a stiff south-westerly but by the time racing was due to start the water was a mass of white horses, substantial waves were breaking over the jetties and the race officer's decision to abandon seemed amply justified as one of the fifteens was literally blown off its trailer.
		Justin Waples from Grafham who has regularly sailed at Aldeburgh in recent years used his knowledge of the river's tides to gain an early lead on the first beat, however local sailor Simon Fulford did not let him out of his sights and they enjoyed a close tacking dual to the windward mark.
