Llyn Celyn project with capacity of 17,800 mgd provides regulating storage for River Dee, and permits abstraction of 64 mgd by Liverpool Corp from river near Chester; it is formed by earth dam which incorporates rolled-clay core and rip-rap wave protection; draw-off tower has main inlets at five levels, each controlled by air-locked siphon in place of normal mechanical valve, and all water passing through tower can be led through power plant; auxiliary works include bellmouth spillway, fish-trap and catch-water bringing in further 2430 acres of catchment; unusual construction techniques were employed in cutoff and core of dam.
