SYNOPSIS

Works were carried out at Bosley Reservoir in Cheshire during 2015/16 to increase the dam freeboard, to understand better the risks associated with downstream control of the outlet and to improve the drawdown capacity.

These works, which included the design and construction of two siphons and the investigation of the original draw-off system, are discussed in this paper.
