Lakes and Reservoirs: What's the Difference?

You might hear the words "lake" and "reservoir" used a lot. But do you know the difference?

• A lake is usually a natural body of water. It's a large area filled with water, often fed by rivers or streams. Lakes are formed by natural processes over a long time.
• A reservoir is a bit different. It's a human-made lake! People build dams across rivers to create reservoirs. These are often used to store water for drinking, farming, or making electricity.

Both lakes and reservoirs are important parts of the landscape. They offer places for fishing, boating, and enjoying nature.
