Chasewater, Canal feeder reservoir in Burntwood, England
Chasewater is a reservoir in Burntwood that supplies water to the canal network across the region. This body of water sits at the heart of the system, feeding locks and channels that keep boats moving through connected waterways.
The original construction around 1797 created this waterbody to store water for industrial use and canal operations. Over time, it became a fundamental part of supporting the region's transport network.
The waterway system transformed from an industrial lifeline into a recreational center where water sports and outdoor activities thrive.
The area around the lake is open for visitors who want to walk the shores or enjoy water activities. Pathways along the banks provide easy access to different points, making it convenient to explore at your own pace.
The reservoir requires 25,000 gallons of water for each boat passage through its locks, equivalent to 100,000 liters.
