The Ladybower Reservoir in Derbyshire England showed up one day on my laptop screensaver. Click on this link to see the one of its curious giant plugholes. 'the drains were designed to regulate water levels in the reservoir by letting out water when the reservoir became full after prolonged wet spells.' They also create hydroelectric energy. If you were to fall in (not advised) water drains into a river but there is a grille down there that would trap you and you would have to be rescued.

Great idea but I wouldn't want to fall in! Hugs, Valerie
What a great idea but I wouldn't go as close as the canoeists!Beautiful day, hug Elke
Wow, interesting!
I didn't know about this! The guy fishing is brave haha!
Wow, that is so interesting. You sure wouldn't catch me out there anywhere close to it!
This makes me think of a Chinese drama, about the search and rescue swimmer who keeps finding bodies in the river. Interesting.
I don't know if I would want to go there. Very interesting.
Truly a very intriguing post!
Interesting.
No thanks... I'll keep my distance.
Oh my goodness. Weird and cool! Thanks for sharing. And thank you for visiting my blog.
Very neat to read that Christine! But I'd be nowhere near them in the water!!
Thanks for the link Christine, an interesting read.
Happy Weekend Wishes.
All the best Jan
Interesting and pretty but I wouldn't want to venture near that.
