The reservoir was originally constructed around 1857 by the Rochdale Canal Company to maintain water levels in the Rochdale Canal and was considered to be one of the largest dams in England at the time.

375m above sea level Warland Impounding Reservoir regularly freezes in winter (temperatures below -20°C have been recorded). There are two date stones in the southern corner of the freshwater dam.

It has a 1500m long, 20m high embankment made of homogenous earth fill. Warland IR is a Category A reservoir as defined in the Reservoirs Act 1975.
