Beaver Dyke Reservoirs
Appearance
Beaver Dyke Reservoirs are two water supply reservoirs near to Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England. The main reservoir was constructed in 1890 and has a surface area of 9 Ha. The water is relatively nutrient rich, but it has been known to suffer from potentially toxic blooms of Blue green algae.

As of 2013 the main Beaver Dyke Reservoir is being decommissioned.[1] The smaller reservoir (also called John O'Gaunts due to the proximity of John O'Gaunt's Castle) is still filled with water.
