The UK has a large number of small dams with diverse problems. Some have capacities of less than 25,000 m3 and therefore fall outside the ambit of the Reservoirs Act, 1975. Many were constructed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to impound ornamental lakes for stately homes. Whilst these reservoirs often require rehabilitation to meet modern safety standards the available funds are frequently tightly constrained.
