Water Reservoirs

A water reservoir is a large storage system that holds water for future use, often built by constructing a dam across a river or by creating an artificial lake. Reservoirs help manage water supply for drinking, irrigation, and industrial needs, especially during dry periods. They also play a role in controlling floods, generating hydroelectric power, and maintaining river flow. Water is stored in these reservoirs and released as needed through pipelines or channels. Proper management ensures a reliable, clean water source, supports ecosystems, and helps balance nature's variability with human demands.
