Reservoir
A subsurface, porous, permeable rock formation in which oil and gas are found. Reservoir rocks can be found under lakes, oceans and rivers.
reservoir - an artificial lake created and used for the storage of water.
resolution - a formal statement from Congress.
reuse - cleaning and/or refurbishing an old product to be used again.
Reservoir: A pond, lake, tank, or basin (natural or human made) where water is collected and used for storage. Large bodies of groundwater are called groundwater reservoirs; water behind a dam is also called a reservoir of water.
Reservoir
A place where water is stored until it is needed. A reservoir can be an open lake or an enclosed storage tank.

Reservoir Species - In reference to ozone destruction, compounds formed in the stratosphere that sequester reactive chlorine and thereby remove it from a role in the catalytic destruction of ozone. Classic examples are HCl and ClONO2.
RESERVOIR: A body of water used to collect and store water, or a tank or cistern used to store potable water.
Reservoir: Any natural or artificial holding area used to store, regulate, or control water.

Storage compartment from which a substance may be released with subsequent biological effects.

Definition (english only)
A component of the climate system that has the capacity to store, to accumulate, or to release a substance of concern (e.g., carbon, a greenhouse gas, or precursor).
A reservoir for storing filtered water of sufficient quantity to prevent the need to vary the filtration rate with variations in demand. Also used to provide chlorine contact time for disinfection.
Lakes and reservoirs which are relatively deep, do not freeze over during winter, and undergo a single stratification and mixing cycle during the year (usually in the fall).

A pond or reservoir, usually made of earth, built to store polluted runoff.
Holding Time
The maximum amount of time a sample may be stored before analysis.
A pond or reservoir, usually made of earth, built to store runoff.
Holding Time
The elapsed time expressed in days from the date of receipt of the sample by the contractor until the date of its analysis.
terminal reservoir An impoundment providing end storage of water prior to treatment.
terminated Ended; adjudicated.
Sink is a reservoir that takes up a pollutant from another part of its cycle. Soil and trees act as natural "sinks" for carbon.
recharge The process by which water is added to a reservoir or zone of saturation, often by runoff or percolation from the soil surface.

Upland lakes and reservoirs: Typically located in the headwaters of river systems, upland reservoirs are usually sited above any human habitation and may be surrounded by a protective zone to restrict the opportunities for contamination.
Economists view the environment as a reservoir of natural resources (some renewable and others non-renewable).
Hydrological drought"This type of drought occurs when water reserves in aquifers, lakes and reservoirs fall below an established statistical average.
(2) The build-up of sediments at the headwaters of a lake or reservoir or at a point where streamflow slows to the point that it will drop part or all of its sediment load.
Dams create reservoirs (large bodies of calm water) behind them, which can be used for recreation, wildlife sanctuaries, and sources of drinking water.
They pile up in reservoirs, rivers and harbours, destroying fish and wildlife habitat, and clouding the water so that sunlight can- not reach aquatic plants.
Collection site: A stream, lake, reservoir, or other body of water fed by water drained from a watershed.
Condensation: The process in the hydrologic cycle by which a vapor becomes a liquid; the opposite of evaporation.
Thermocline: The middle layer of a thermally stratified lake or reservoir. In this layer, there is a rapid decrease in temperatures in a lake or reservoir.
Surface water: All water naturally open to the atmosphere (rivers, lakes, reservoirs, streams, impoundments, seas, estuaries, etc.); also refers to springs, wells, or other collectors that are directly influenced by surface water.
Surface water - The term surface water refers to water that comes from our rivers, streams, creeks, lakes, and reservoirs.
The deposition of water-borne sediments in stream channels, lakes, reservoirs or on floodplains usually resulting from a decrease in the velocity of the water.

Influent: Water, wastewater, or other liquid flowing into a reservoir, basin or treatment plant.
Watershed: The land area from which surface water and runoff drains into a stream, channel, lake, reservoir, or other body of water; also called a drainage basin.
Storage Tank: Any stationary container, reservoir, or tank, used for storage of liquids.
plants use light to synthesize organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water. In the process oxygen and water are released. Increased levels of carbon dioxide can increase net photosynthesis in some plants. Plants create a very important reservoir ...
Soil organic matter serves as the food source for many soil organisms. Finally, soil organic matter serves as a tremendous reservoir or pool of terrestrial carbon that would otherwise be released to the atmosphere.
