What's the Difference Between a Lake and a Reservoir?
It's easy to get lakes and reservoirs mixed up, but they are a bit different!
- A lake is usually a natural body of water. It's a large area of water surrounded by land. Lakes are often formed by natural processes like glaciers, rivers, or even volcanoes over thousands of years.
- A reservoir is a man-made lake. People build dams across rivers or streams to create reservoirs. They are designed to store water for specific uses, like drinking water for towns, irrigation for farms, or even to generate electricity.
