mountain reservoir
Highland water storage
A mountain reservoir is an artificial lake created by damming a river or stream in mountainous terrain, used primarily for water storage, hydroelectric power generation, or flood control.
The elevation allows gravity-fed distribution to lower areas: The city draws its drinking water from a mountain reservoir fifty miles away.
These reservoirs often become recreational sites for fishing and boating.
