At 1.6km from east to west and 0.8km from north to south, the reservoir will be built on a 160-hectare grassland site owned by Portsmouth Water in Havant, Hampshire. It will hold approximately 8.7 billion litres of water and will be able to supply up to 21 million litres of water each day – having been filled in the winter from surplus water pumped from the Bedhampton springs in Havant. The reservoir is scheduled to be operational by 2029.
According to Portsmouth Water, the new reservoir at Havant Thicket will secure critical water supplies for the South East of England, an area under serious water stress. It will also help protect environmentally sensitive chalk streams and create a new, green leisure facility for local communities and wildlife. The scheme is being progressed under a collaboration between Portsmouth Water and Southern Water.

TAUNTON Deane MP Rebecca Pow is urging people to do their bit to help preserve our water supplies as they come under increased pressure. Environment Minister Ms Pow was speaking as the Environment Agency this week launched a four-week consultation to determine areas of water stress in England, and how best to protect the environment and safeguard supplies. Climate change, population growth and the need to improve our resilience to droughts are all putting pressure on water supplies in areas of England. The consultation will provide up-to-date evidence on water resources so that water companies experiencing the most severe pressures adopt the highest level of water-saving measures, helping to manage supplies in the future and ensure our rivers, lakes and streams are protected.
