Barby Storage Reservoir is an underground reservoir near Barby in Northamptonshire, England, owned and operated by Severn Trent Water.[1][2] It supplies drinking water to Rugby, being fed by water pumped from Draycote Water.[1][2]

The site was subject to archaeological excavations between 2009 and 2015, prior to planned extension of the reservoir.[3][4]
