Chasewater, Canal feeder reservoir in Burntwood, England

The Chasewater reservoir features a water surface of 4,400,000 cubic meters across its expanse, making it the third largest in Staffordshire.

The original reservoir, constructed in 1797, experienced a catastrophic dam breach in 1799 due to the absence of an overflow system.

The waterway system transformed from an industrial lifeline into a recreational center where water sports and outdoor activities thrive.

The reservoir maintains water levels in the Birmingham Canal Network through a sophisticated system of locks and channels.

The reservoir requires 25,000 gallons of water for each boat passage through its locks, equivalent to 100,000 liters.
