Comments

The facts in the side panel do not seem to be correct. A volume of 1.14 x 10^-5 km³ equates to only 11,400 m³ which is a tiny volume of water. Simple maths shows this to be wrong. If the water is 15m deep then this volume of water would only occupy an area of 800 m² or 40m x 20m !!

A more authoritive source from when the dam was refurbished

[1] Severn Trent Water - The Ladybower Reservoir Dam Refurbishment Scheme

gives the following figures which seem much more plausible:

Surface area 210 hectares

Max volume of reservoir: 27,800,000 m³

Since an hectare is 10,000 m², that would correspond to an average water depth of around 15m which seems reasonable with probably a maximum depth of around 30m.

Length

There two different figures given for the maximum length. In the main text it says 4.8 km in the Infobox it says 4 km. This needs correction as it affects surface area, storage capacity. --Drgkl (talk) 11:17, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
