Ponden Reservoir is an artificial upland lake in the Worth Valley, near Stanbury, West Yorkshire, England. Ponden was built as a compensation reservoir after the nearby Watersheddles Reservoir (upstream) was used to divert water away from the River Worth. Ponden was needed to regulate the flow of water down the river into the downstream mills in the valley.
