It doesn't look truely aquatic to me. Maybe a bog plant, but I'm not familar with the flora in the UK. Just because it comes from a reservoir, doesn't make it truely an aquatic plant. Several terrestrial plants are extremely tough and can survive extended periods of time underwater. Even cryptocorynes are adaptable in the opposite way, being able to survive as a terrestrial plant and an aquatic.

I suggest looking and comparing your plant with plants in your countries noxious weeds list. There should be a website. Or, check out a field guide for local flora. The flower, the shape of the leaf, and how the leaf grows on the stem all give clues as to what the plant may be and many guides are organized by flower color and shape, making identification easier. I'd look it up for you, but I only have US field guides.

I'm a big advocate of the internet, but when you're trying to ID something like that, it's so hard. So I referred to my trusty book 'a natural history of britain and europe'
