reservoir's

Artificial lake's supply

Reservoir's is the possessive form of reservoir—a natural or artificial lake where water is stored for public use, or any container holding a supply of liquid.

The word extends to anything that accumulates a reserve: The region served as a reservoir's worth of untapped talent.

A reservoir can also harbor disease: the reservoir's role in spreading infection to surrounding populations.
