Bewl Water is a reservoir in the valley of the River Teise straddling the boundary between Kent and East Sussex. The reservoir was part of a project to increase supplies of water in the area. It supplies not only Southern Water’s customers in the Medway towns, Thanet and Hastings, but is also used by other water companies in the area. Work began to dig the reservoir in 1973. It was completed in 1975, by which time over 31,300 million litres of water had been pumped in. It is now the largest body of inland water in south east England. Every winter, water from the River Medway is pumped in to top up the reservoir, when flows in the river exceed 275 million litres per day.
