Between 1893 and 1901, when the aqueduct was being constructed, a pipe measuring 4,940 yards (4,520 m) was built to take water away from Barden Beck between the two reservoirs and feed water into the Nidd Aqueduct. All of these works were undertaken by Bradford Corporation Water Works, to improve the water supply into the town (later city) of Bradford, which did not have a major water supply nearby. 910: 877: 870: 850: 843: 810: 776: 769: 1162: 1252:

Upper Barden Reservoir was constructed between 1876 and 1882. It is fed from streams running off Barden Moor, and its major outfall is Barden Beck, which feeds Lower Barden Reservoir and the River Wharfe. Separately, some of the outflow from Upper Barden runs into an aqueduct which in turns, feeds

The trench which houses the embankment was dug to a depth of 30 feet (9.1 m) in places, so the span from trench bottom to crest of the dam head was 148 feet (45 m) at its highest. The dam embankment is filled with 810,000 cubic feet (23,000 m) of concrete, and 2,200,000 cubic feet

The Dam's cut-off (the lowest part of the wall designed to prevent seepage) was constructed from concrete, one of the first to be made from this material in England. The cut-off trench was dug and completed by May 1879, and because of the "exceptional use of concrete.." (at that time), the event

attracted much attention, especially in engineering circles. The embankment of the dam head reaches a height of 125 feet (38 m) and extends across the dam for 524 yards (479 m). At the time of its construction, the dam head embankment was the highest in England.

However, formal opening of the dam was not until 29 May 1883, when a deputation from Bradford Corporation travelled to the site. 419:. Like other reservoirs in the Yorkshire uplands, the water in Barden suffers from discolouration due to the peat run-off from the moors. The area around the two reservoirs is popular with walkers as the site is located in the Yorkshire Dales. 352:
When Lower Barden reservoir was opened in 1860, it was noted that the valley above would also be ideally suited for a second reservoir with the capability of holding the same volume of water as the lower reservoir (440,000,000 imperial gallons

The area was subject to flash flooding in June 1908, when 103 millimetres (4.1 in) of rain fell in 150 minutes. The dam walls, conduits and cut-offs, held up well, however the deluge destroyed many bridges and damaged roads in

Upper Barden is an upland freshwater reservoir, being 1,168 feet (356 m) above sea level, and was built at the confluence of Hethersgill Beck and Padmore Syke. 1312:, was built between 1855 and 1860, but suffered failure in the dam wall and general construction. It was enlarged in 1874. The distance between the two reservoirs is just short of 2 miles (3.2 km). 376:
