Kielder Water Transfer Scheme

Описание: In the UK, there are systems in place to transport water from areas of water surplus to areas of water deficit. These are called water transfer schemes. The Kielder scheme is a regional water transfer system. It releases water from the reservoir at Kielder Water into local rivers. The scheme means rivers such as the Tyne, Wear and Tees can be kept at minimum levels even when rainfall has been low. This makes more water available downstream for domestic and industrial use.
