latter being separated from each other by a distance ex-

embankment, over which the Chorleyand Rivington road
Into these reservoirs are gathered all the
waters of an extensive upland and hilly district, amount-
ing to 9,847 statute acres, or nearly 15 square miles.
Condescending a little more into particulars, it may be
stated that the Roddlesworth, or upper reservoir, receives
the waters of the Rake-brook, which drains the Brown-
hill district; and the Roddlesworth river, which, rising
in the Great hill, carries down to the reservoir a large sup-
ply of excellent water. The middle, or Anglezark reser-
voir, is supplied by the river Yarrow and numerous springs,
which well up in various parts of Anglezark moor, them-
selves constituting a large aggregate amount of pure
water ; but, in addition to these feeders, it receives a col-
lateral supply from the Chorley water-works reservoir, the
minimum amount of which is limited to 300 gallons per
minute, or 432,000 gallons daily. The Rivington, or lower
and southernmost reservoir, receives the waters of the
river Douglas, and the Dean and Church brooks, besides
other smaller streams, which drain the Two Lads-hill and
the Rivington Pike, the latter a large peaked hill ending

is carried

in a high cone, and from which the works derive their
The supply poured into these reservoirs from so
many and such extensive•feeders is enormous, when com-
puted in gallons or even in tuns, and, it is considered by
the promoters of the scheme, will greatly exceed any pro-
bability of demand from Liverpool, even after the quantity
necessary for the mills and works, situated on the lower
portion of the diverted streams, has been amply provided
for, out of the surplus water which will be husbanded in

the reservoirs

In reference to these and other waterworks belonging
to the Corporation of Liverpool, a report, prepared by Its.
SIMPSON, Esq., C.E., and JAS. NEWLANDS, Esq., C.E.,

Borough Engineer of Liverpool, was some years ago pre-
sented to the Chairman of the Water Committee. It is
dated in April, 1849, and bears internal evidence of having
been prepared after a very minute and searching inquiry ;
and it seems to be the result, in many of its statistical
details, of an actual survey and careful examination into
the circumstances which produce, or can regulate, the
water-supply from the Rivington field of operations.
From that valuable document, it appears that the average
yield of rain-fall over the district drained by the Rivington
s, amounts to about

es of six yea,
21,600,000 gallons per day, which, after deducting com-
pensation-water, would yield to the town a supply of about

reservoirs named when full will be 4672 statute acres ;
and that, under similar circumstances, they will contain
440,918,962 cubic feet, or 2,755,737,263 gallons of water•
The amount of storage afforded by these reservoirs, the
report alluded to states, will be sufficient to equalise the
supply of wet and dry periods for a single year, but will
not, in the opinion of the gentlemen named, be adequate

to maintain the necessary average for equalising the excess

of supply over a number of years. After
deducting the compensation-water, which, in terms of the
Liverpool Water Act, is preferential and compulsory, and
taking into consideration the combined questions of yield
and storage, the same report informs us that the works
will, on au average of years, supply to the town eleven and
a-half millions of
_gallons of water of excellent quality

daily; but that ove
safe to calculate on more than that quantity. From appen-
dices to the report we also learn that the cost of these
works may be estimated at £779,269, with an annual
expenditure, including interest on outlaid capital, of
£62,713 ; while they compute that by sinking additional
wells, and otherwise improving the already existing water-
works belonging to the Corporation, an additional ten
millions of gallons per day might be obtained at an outlay
of £299,156, and an annual expenditure, including interest
of outlaid capital,•of £35,000.

The nature of the works requisite for the construction
of the Rivington reservoirs is necessarily to a great extent
similar in each of them, and a short description of one may
serve for all ; for this purpose we shall select .the main
bank, as it is called, of the Rivington reservoir. This
bank extends from side to side of the valley, is 1,122 feet
in length, with a depth which varies from its perfectly

ntal upper surface in accordance with the varying

tune of the valle3

its greatest depth, however, when

completed will be 57 feet. The upper surface or edge of
this embankment is to be 24 feet in width, while, with
the view of giving it sufficient strength to resist the pres-
sure of water contained in the lake of which it f
