Reservoirs are artificial lakes created by the construction of a dam across a river or stream. They serve multiple purposes, the primary ones being water storage for public water supply, irrigation, and hydroelectric power generation. The stored water can be released as needed to maintain a consistent flow downstream, which is crucial for various downstream users and ecosystems. Reservoirs also play a role in flood control by impounding excess water during periods of heavy rainfall, thereby mitigating potential damage to communities and infrastructure.
The creation of a reservoir involves significant engineering and environmental considerations. Dams are built with materials
The management of reservoirs involves monitoring water levels, quality, and release rates. Water quality can be
