Booth Wood Reservoir is a man-made upland reservoir that lies north of the M62 motorway and south of the A672 road near to Rishworth and Ripponden in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England.
The reservoir dams the Booth Dean Clough watercourse and takes water directly from the surrounding moorland.
[7] In 1995 a long dry spell in the summer created a larger than normal abstraction of water from Booth Wood creating the need to transport water into the reservoir as stocks ran very low.
[10] On 14 August 2016, the A672 road which runs along the northern edge of the reservoir was closed whilst police searched for a driver and car that had plunged off the road and into the reservoir.
The driver was believed to be the only person in the car and the search operation involved helicopters and underwater divers.
