Wessex Water has developed a new 35 Ml/d water supply source, using lakes formed from worked-out gravel pits, to meet increasing demands for water and to provide security for existing supplies.Having identified the need for the scheme, an engineering feasibility study was carried out in conjunction with a full environmental assessment. This led to the successful promotion of the Stage I scheme in 1986. Design and construction took place immediately after, and the scheme was officially opened in 1989.There are opportunities to expand the scheme as more lakes are formed by gravel working, and proposals for this are well advanced. This paper describes all the key elements in the promotion and development of the scheme.
