Abstract
Eastern England, the driest part of England, has the fastest population growth and water demand in the UK. Existing supplies taken from groundwater have to be supported by surface water, in pumped storage reservoirs supplied from highly eutrophie rivers. These reservoirs are managed primarily by technical means to produce high quality drinking water but there is recognition that intensive recreational use has to be a compatible part of their management. In the future progress towards a more sustainable, ecologically-based management is possible.
