reservoirs and dams
Reservoirs and dams refer to man-made structures designed to store and control water resources. Reservoirs are large bodies of water created by constructing dams across rivers or streams, allowing for water storage. Dams, on the other hand, are barriers built across flowing watercourses to control water flow, create reservoirs, and generate hydroelectric power.
