Summary
edit
| Description |
English: Garstang Water Basin. This engineering complex on the River Wyre serves two purposes. It collects and pumps water from the Wyre and transfers it to the mid-reaches of the Lune, from where it is extracted for drinking water for Lancaster. It also has a barrage which is raised when there is risk of flooding downstream at St Michaels [where the Wyre becomes tidal]. The bank of the flood basin can be seen beyond the rugby pitch - which becomes a lake when the barriers are raised. |
