Reservoirs

Reservoirs are large natural or artificial lakes used to store water. They collect water from rivers, rainfall, and melting snow. Reservoirs supply water for drinking, agriculture, and industrial use. They also help control flooding and generate hydroelectric power by releasing water through turbines. Additionally, reservoirs provide recreational opportunities like fishing and boating. Managing reservoirs involves balancing water supply needs with environmental considerations, such as maintaining aquatic ecosystems. Overall, they play a crucial role in water management and resource sustainability.
