[edit] Reservoir
Looks to me like Blackwater Reservoir should be listed in the reservoirs: Its area is roughly 12 by 1 km, perhaps 3.5 square miles? 81.132.10.0 17:27, 17 March 2007 (UTC) djcmackay
Which is the largest man-made lake in the UK? Rutland Water or Kielder Water? The latter claims the title on its article page. Both make the claim on their respective websites, and there are numerous claims that each is the largest man-made lake in Europe. What criteria are used, and are the figures on this page correct? --JRawle 20:34, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
I would guess Rutland Water is the largest by surface area, and Kielder Water is the largest by water capacity. Morwen - Talk 09:36, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Depth
Is it 228 or 248 m deep? Ufwuct 21:26, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- This page says that George Edwards measured a maximum depth of 812 feet (247 m).
- Taking that page along with this one, the other measurement seems to come from the previously assumed maximum depth of 750 feet (229 m). --David Edgar 11:42, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Size
I feel this article should make it clearer that this is talking about surface area, not volume of water.Greynolds999 16:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
