FarmReservoirs.co.uk
The perfect name for farm water storage in the UK. More farmers are building reservoirs than ever, and this name says exactly what they need.
Why this name, and why now
The UK had dry summers in 2025 and 2026. Farmers need water for their crops, so many now plan to store rain and river water in winter. They store it in a reservoir on the farm. The government wants this too. In August 2026 it set aside up to £15m to help farmers build reservoirs.
- New grant money. The Water Management Grant pays 40% of the cost. Each farm can get from £35,000 up to £500,000. The next round should open this autumn.
- Planning is getting easier. New planning rules for farm reservoirs are on the way. The government is also looking at letting farms build some reservoirs without full planning permission.
- Licences are getting simpler. From September 2026, the Environment Agency is making it easier to apply for a licence to fill a reservoir.
All of this means more farmers and builders are looking for help online. No one site owns this topic yet. This name could be that site.
