DISCOVER ENJOY PROTECT

It’s not just Islanders that thrive on our water supply.

Our reservoirs are critical for supplying water, for our Island’s biodiversity and as beautiful open spaces for you to enjoy.

They are also vital to our Island’s birds. Many of our resident species, such as coot, moorhen, mallard, and domesticated geese have a strong association with the areas of fresh water, and the surrounding woodlands, hedgerows and fields.

Just one of the ways Jersey Water is for island life.
