A reservoir is a large body of water that is stored for later use. Reservoirs are often used to store water for drinking, irrigation, and hydroelectric power generation.
Reservoirs can be natural or man-made. Natural reservoirs include lakes, ponds, and wetlands. Man-made reservoirs are created by building dams across rivers.
Reservoirs are important for storing water and providing a reliable source of water for human use. They also play a role in flood control and water quality.
