The paper reviews developments which have been carried out during the last hundred years in the design and construction of outlet works for water supply and river regulating reservoirs in the UK. The review covers diversion tunnels, culverts, valve towers, upstream control equipment, in‐line valves, pipeline materials and flow control valves. It concludes with a brief description on the rehabilitation of the outlet works at a number of nineteenth‐century reservoirs.
