		The water demands of Ingleton fluctuate with tourist population and Yorkshire Water have addressed this problem by importing water from the impounding reservoir at Embsay and from North West Water, to supplement Ingleton's own spring at Turbary Pasture, 6km to the north.
		From this it can be implied that on a demand basis, a reservoir local to Ingleton would reduce its reliance on imports, notably that from a competing company.

		Mardale, the remote British hamlet where Hall's remarkable debut novel is set, is a close-knit community of tenant farmers "where grand events and theatrical schemes rarely take place." So when a handsome stranger arrives in 1936, suspicions run high among the hardworking villagers.
		Jack Liggett is up-front about his plans for Mardale: he has come to inform the villagers that their homes would soon be at the bottom of a massive reservoir.
		According to Liggett, the dam associated with the project will be a "wonderful piece of architecture and engineering." But the villagers, who view the project as "so strange and vast that at first it was not taken seriously," resist, setting off a losing struggle between the insular community and the modern world.

	The Schelly in Haweswater (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Research at the IFE under commission to North West Water Limited has shown that the population in the remote reservoir of Haweswater is now in a state of decline and that this is related to the use of Haweswater as a water supply for the North West of England.
		An analysis of reservoir management data over a 30 year period (1961-1991) has revealed that the decline of the schelly population is associated with increased water abstraction and reduced water levels.
		Year class strength is probably determined by lake levels during the January-March spawning and incubation period whereas subsequent growth rate is influenced by lake levels during June-October.
