Kielder Water Pumping Station - a photo on Flickriver

            Kielder Water Pumping Station is a critical part of the Kielder Water Scheme, located in Northumberland, England. It forms a key component of one of the largest artificial lakes in the UK, Kielder Water. Built to support water management in the region, the pumping station plays a vital role in transferring water from Kielder Reservoir to rivers and other reservoirs across the North East, ensuring a reliable supply of water for both domestic and industrial use. It is situated near the Kielder Dam, close to the shore of the reservoir, and its modern, utilitarian design blends into the scenic, forested landscape surrounding the lake.

The station is part of a sophisticated water management system that operates in conjunction with the dam and other reservoirs, helping to balance water needs across a vast area. While it is an operational facility not generally open to the public, the surrounding Kielder Forest and water-based activities at the reservoir draw many visitors. Kielder Water and the pumping station are emblematic of how infrastructure and nature coexist in this remote, picturesque region of the UK.
