Grafham Water is an 806.3-hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north of Perry, Huntingdonshire. It was designated an SSSI in 1986. It is a reservoir with a circumference of about 16 km , is 21 m deep at maximum, and is the eighth largest reservoir in England by volume and the third largest by area at 6.27 km2 . An area of 114 ha at the western end is a nature reserve managed by the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire.
The lake was created by building an earth and concrete dam, constructed by W. & C. French in 1965, and water is extracted and processed at an adjacent Anglian Water treatment plant before being piped away as drinking water.
