Levers Water is a naturally occuring tarn, but was enlarged by a dam in 1717 to provide water and power to the coppermines below. It now supplies water to Coniston and the surrounding villages.
Bleak and rugged Levers Water reservoir, on the Coniston Fells above Coppermines Valley, lies at a height of 1,500 feet, at the foot of the steeply descending slopes of Great How, High Fell and Raven Tor.
