From the Wikipedia article
The Abingdon Reservoir (also known as the South East Strategic Reservoir Option, or SESRO, and the White Horse Reservoir) is a long-term proposal for fresh water storage for the Home Counties. To be located south west of Abingdon, Oxfordshire in the mid-west of the Thames Basin, it is intended to help support water supply provision in the south-east of England. The proposals have been developed primarily by Thames Water, along with Southern Water and Affinity Water, as the reservoir is intended to serve all three companies' customers.
