Bracknell: Savernake Pond
Savernake Pond is fed by Bull Brook and is one of several balancing ponds in the Bracknell area, designed to hold a much larger amount of water than normal in a flood event and then let the excess water drain away downstream at a managed rate so that the land and property downstream does not flood. The clump of trees is on the island in the middle of the pond.

Bull Brook in Forest Park, Bracknell
Bull Brook heads downstream here towards Savernake Pond. Bracknell Forest Council have made an attractive feature of painting red all the metal latticework on the bridges over the brook. The near bridge is a footbridge but the partially hidden distant one is on Savernake Way.

Bull Brook: Savernake Pond silt trap
Just before Bull Brook flows into Savernake Pond there is this large silt trap which catches water-borne sediments brought down from Bracknell Forest before they can reach the lake and silt it up. The water flow is slowed right down, partially by weirs at either end and partially by spreading the water out over a large area across the trap, to enable sediments from the water to drop to the bed. The silt is then periodically cleared out of the sump. Unfortunately, being open and next to the public car park for Savernake Park, the trap attracts a fair share of non-water-borne deposits...
