Summary:
Large water reservoirs often serve several purposes, such as for hydropower production, irrigation control, flood-control, navigation and other flow regulation objectives. Reservoirs may include natural water bodies such as lakes or man-made structures such as dams. Due to climate change, the importance of reservoirs is likely to increase – not only for the water storage purposes, but also for maximizing water use benefits and mitigating climate extremes.
