CC4 Adaptation - Winter Water Storage

The development of winter water storage reservoirs and other forms of water harvesting will be encouraged, particularly on farms, as a means of reducing summer abstraction from existing water resources.

Reservoirs should be designed, where appropriate and practicable, to incorporate wildlife and landscape features including permanent deep water, shallow berms and islands and include marginal planting, hedges or shelter belts and embankments sown with traditional grass and wildflower mixes.
