Bedsearcher's Guide to The Carsington Water Visitor Centre

The Carsington Water Visitor Centre

Carsington Water has been a very popular visitor attraction since the reservoir was opened in May 1992 by Her Majesty the Queen. The reservoir is owned and operated by Severn Trent Water and exists to store water pumped from the River Derwent at times of high rainfall, to store the water and return it to the river when the river level would otherwise be too low to allow water extraction for treatment further downstream. The Visitor Centre has within it a permanent exhibition explaining the role of water in our daily lives, the history and purpose of the reservoir and the role Severn Trent plays in conservation. An information desk provides a range of information sheets and booklets to help you understand the site and make the most of the recreational facilities offered.
