to accumulate (water) in a reservoir.
a basin, naturally formed or artificially built, which is dammed or excavated for the retention of water, sediment, or waste.
A natural or artificial, closed basin that is dammed or excavated for retaining water, sediment and/or waste.
a reservoir where water is held behind a control structure.
a structure or location used for confined storage, such as a pond, lake or reservoir
A body of water, such as a pond, confined by a dam, dyke, floodgate or other barrier. It is used to collect and store water for future use or treatment.
the act of damming or confining water, resulting in the creation of a reservoir.
any enclosure or facility used to restrict the movement of fish stocks, whether in natural or artificial environments.
An accumulation of water into ponds/dams by human-engineered blocking of natural drainage.
A dam or other structure to obstruct the flow of water in a river or stream.
A confined body of water such as a reservoir or lake. Typically created by a dam to store water that is released to meet to maintain authorized purposes
The accumulation of any form of water in a reservoir or other storage area.
The body of water created by a dam.
structure built to store water, usually a reservoir or pond. Manmade lake or reservoir usually characterized by stream inflow and always by a stream outlet. Because of nutrient and soil loss from upstream land use practices, impoundments ordinarily have higher nutrient concentrations and faster sedimentation rates than natural lakes. Their retention times are relatively short.
A body of water or sludge confined by a dam, dike, floodgate, or other barrier.
