It started as a trickle - Bewl Water at 50
Available for over a year
Work began on reservoir near Lamberhurst in October 1973 as housing increased and demand for water grew. It's now a great expanse of water, which alongside supplying Kent and Sussex with drinking water is also a space to enjoy watersports, nature and even weddings. Reporter Jo Burn met some of those instrumental in its development.
