The Canal & River Trust, the new waterways charity, took over the responsibility for British Waterways' canals, rivers and reservoirs in England and Wales in July 2012. The government has placed the waterways in trust for the nation. The move will attract new investment, secure jobs and give the public a greater say in the running of their local canal or river. The Trust is responsible for 72 reservoirs, built between 1796 and 1891 to supply water for navigation of over 3000 km of waterway.

Dam Safety Ltd (formerly Rodney Bridle Ltd) has developed since its foundation in 1998 as an independent highly technical organisation specialising in dam safety engineering, particularly the performance of existing embankment dams. The new name, in addition to stating what we do, marks the beginning of our future as an organisation planning to grow organically, by merger and with associates to further assist dam owners to improve their dams and keep them safe. We are engaged in GB, the Isle of Man, Jersey and Ireland on a range of dam safety work including statutory inspections, design and construction, supervision of safety measures, review panels, reviews of performance and maintaining the safety of reservoirs while works are in progress in or close to the dams.

WEBSITE: www.environment-agency.gov.uk/reservoirsafety

The Environment Agency is the enforcement authority for some 2100 reservoirs in England and Wales. Our role includes maintaining a register of reservoirs. It also involves making sure undertakers have their reservoirs regularly inspected and, when required, carry out essential safety works to reduce the risk of dam failure. We are legally required to report to Defra and the Welsh Assembly Government at regular intervals. This includes the submission of our biennial report, which outlines the actions we have taken to get undertakers to comply with the Reservoirs Act 1975 (the Act). It also documents the actions that, we have taken on reservoirs where we are the undertaker. In addition, Defra has charged us with the role of post-incident reporting. This involves maintaining a database of post-incident reports and the dissemination of the lessons learned from those reports to the reservoir industry. Overall compliance with the Act has improved since the Environment Agency became the enforcement authority in 2004. However, our experiences over the past three years have led us to conclude that a review of legislation covering reservoir safety is timely and we are currently working with the industry and government to achieve this aim.
