Atkins commissioned to redraft Reservoirs Act 1975 Guide

Atkins’ Dams and Reservoirs business has recently been commissioned by Defra to redraft the publication ‘A Guide to the Reservoirs Act 1975’.  The redrafting exercise will be carried out over the next year and as part of the process it is intended to consult widely with the profession, particularly Panel Engineers, Owners, The Environment Agency as Enforcement Authority and Defra lawyers.



The new Guide will contain information on the elements of the Water Act 2003 which affect reservoirs and seek to explain some of the problems which people have experienced in interpretation of the Act.

The contract will be completed within 12 months.
