Lakes and storage reservoirs
Several major lakes and storage reservoirs are situated in the upper part of the basin, including Llyn Tegid; the largest natural lake in Wales. The storage reservoirs are used to control flood risk in the lowlying parts of the catchment adjacent to the Dee. They are also used to regulate river flows in drier periods to sustain abstractions for public supply and industry, the navigational water requirements of the Shropshire Union Canal and fisheries interests in the lower Dee.FURTHER RESEARCH IN THE ABOVE SUBJECT WILL PROVE THERE IS NO FLOOD RISK

No flood warnings were issued in the case of 1500 flooding incidents because the properties affected were not serviced by the Environment Agency's flood warning scheme.
