Whilst reservoirs are a vital management tool for the water industry, their construction and management impinge upon the local built and natural environment. A wide range of impacts have been identified in this paper both relating to the reservoir's primary use and any secondary uses which may result. Both direct and indirect impacts are outlined and a discussion of mitigation measures is included.
