Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Scammonden Reservoir is a water reservoir in West Yorkshire, England. The area of the water surface when the reservoir is full is 42 hectares (0.16 sq mi). The level of the bellmouth overflow above sea level is 252 metres (827 ft). The reservoir holds 7800 million litres. Its length is 1.4 kilometres (0.9 mi). Scammonden Dam, that contains the reservoir, carries the M62 motorway. The reservoir is home to Scammonden Water Sailing Club or SWSC. The sailing club has the exclusive rights to the water, which means that the activities on the water are either dingy cruising or racing. Other activities occasionally take place usually under the auspices of the scouts.
