Nutscale Reservoir is a reservoir located in Exmoor in north west Somerset, England. It supplies the town of Minehead and nearby Porlock and Porlock Weir.[1] The reservoir is part of the River Horner catchment area, and is dammed. Nutscale Reservoir is fed by Nutscale Water and water is piped to the Porlock Treatment Works, supplying around 3,000 cubic metres (110,000 cu ft) per day, and to six other farms and camp sites. It was built in 1942, and typically provides good quality water, although high levels of geosmin were recorded in 2008.[2] The fishing rights to the reservoir are owned by the National Trust, as part of its Holnicote Estate, and leased out privately.
