Understanding Lakes and Reservoirs
A lake is usually a natural body of water. It is a large area filled with water, surrounded by land. Lakes can be formed in many ways, like by glaciers, volcanoes, or rivers changing course.
A reservoir is different because it is a man-made lake. People build dams across rivers to create reservoirs. They are often used to store water for drinking, farming (irrigation), or to control floods.
Many Water Bodies in Arkansas County
Arkansas County is home to a large number of these water bodies. This is because of its geography and the way rivers have shaped the land over many years. Many of the lakes are "oxbow lakes," which are formed when a river's bend gets cut off from the main river.
These lakes and reservoirs provide homes for many animals. They are also used by people for fishing, boating, and other fun outdoor activities.
