Coincidentally, or not, Owen Boswarva blogged <https://www.owenboswarva.com/blog/post-ea3.htm> about the EA Reservoir register open data only yesterday. I was surprised to see Moorgreen Reservoir still in the hands of the CRT, which Richard has confirmed.
This has a number of other values which it might be worth adding if updating reservoirs, notably capacity in cubic metres, but other operators too. Legally there seem to be differences between impounding and non-impounding reservoirs, but also service reservoirs (possibly always covered). I'd thought of using designation but the two properties seem to be disjunct. The dataset is probably more concerned with volumes of water held behind dams which might fail. There are a number of ornamental lakes such as Groby Pool & Wollaton Park Lake. This does highlight that the relevant dams have not been mapped which may be worthwhile. I used it to find the reservoir for the Hall water extraction point on the Trent near Newton-on-Trent which I'd failed to find a couple of months ago.
