Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Culverted beck alongside Castle Carrock Reservoir. Castle Carrock is a storage reservoir - the water is piped by gravity from streams and springs in Geltsdale, 3 or 4km away (see 461858 ) . The source was chosen for its purity, but from a geological point of view the most suitable place to build a reservoir was in the valley of the Castle Carrock Beck. The beck that was originally here flowed through agricultural land, so not good for drinking water. The solution was to divert it through an underground culvert around the edge of the reservoir. This photo shows a small section which is uncovered, before the culvert goes underneath the dam. The beck comes out beside the water works *LINK photo* , then continues as normal round the edge of Castle Carrock village. (Information from guided tour, also from booklet "Castle Carrock Reservoir Centenary, 1909-2009" by Tom Speight - see http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/cumbria/castle_carrock_reservoir.pdf ). |
