water reservoir

A water reservoir is a storage system that holds large amounts of water for future use. It can be natural, like a lake or pond, or man-made, such as a dam with an artificial lake. Reservoirs are essential for providing a reliable water supply for drinking, irrigation, industry, and hydroelectric power, especially during dry periods or high demand. They also help control flooding and maintain water flow in rivers. In essence, reservoirs act as reservoirs of water, storing excess supply and releasing it when needed, ensuring consistent access to water for various needs.
