Northumbrian Water Limited is a water company in the United Kingdom, providing mains water and sewerage services in the English counties of Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, Durham and parts of North Yorkshire, and also supplying water as Essex and Suffolk Water.

NW's operations are split between two resource zones: Berwick and Fowberry resource zone; and Kielder resource zone.

This zone covers a small area in north Northumberland, centred on the towns of Berwick and Wooler which has no access to stored water and its water supplies come entirely from an aquifer in the underlying Fell Sandstone, from which water is abstracted via boreholes.

99% of the population served by NW is in the Kielder zone, so named from Kielder Water, the largest reservoir in NW's region. The zone is split into three supply zones, Northern, Central and Southern, which correspond broadly to the catchment areas of the rivers Tyne, Wear and Tees respectively, each of which incorporates one of the region's three conurbations.
