The reservoir takes water from the <a href="/wiki/River_Derwent,_Derbyshire" title="River Derwent, Derbyshire">River Derwent</a> at <a href="/wiki/Ambergate" title="Ambergate">Ambergate</a> during winter months, pumping up to the reservoir by 10.5-kilometre (6.5 mi) long tunnels and aqueduct. Water is released back into the river during summer months for <a href="/wiki/Water_abstraction" class="mw-redirect" title="Water abstraction">water abstraction</a> and treatment further downstream.

It also led to major advances in understanding the nature and extent of geochemical and mineralogical reactions that can occur in earthworks, and how these can be allowed for in design and construction. These aspects had not been considered in the original investigations and design. This resulted in much greater degradation of the fill materials than expected during construction, the pollution of surface waters, and the deaths of four site personnel.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the case of the Carsington Dam construction, it was hypothesized that <a href="/wiki/Autotroph" title="Autotroph">autotrophic</a> bacteria greatly accelerated the oxidation rate of the <a href="/wiki/Pyrite" title="Pyrite">pyrite</a>, so that it occurred within months during construction.
