Perry Barr Reservoir is a covered drinking water reservoir, in north Birmingham, England. Built on the site of the former Perry Barr Farm, it is not, despite its name, in the modern Perry Barr area, but nearby Kingstanding, at . The reservoir is supplied by gravity from The Elan Valley, via Frankley Water Treatment Works and the trunk mains system. The reservoir holds 83 million litres of water and supplies areas such as Kingstanding, Perry Barr, Great Barr and Witton. When built, it was in open countryside, but its surroundings are now urban. There are two old, matching signs at the entrance (both now vandalised with graffiti and chewing gum). One reads: the other: In August 2013, Severn Trent launched a £2 million project to build a 2 1/2 mile pipeline linking the reservoir to South Staffordshire Water's Barr Beacon Reservoir, to allow for the exchange of water in emergencies such as severe droughts. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perry Barr Reservoir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
