Natural reservoir

Okay kiddo, so you know how we store water in a big tank for when we need it later? Well, nature also has big tanks where it stores things like water, plants, and animals. These big tanks are called natural reservoirs.

A natural reservoir is a place where things like water, plants, and animals are naturally stored. Just like our water tank, natural reservoirs can save things for a long time until we need to use them. For example, when it rains, the water soaks into the ground and can be stored in underground aquifers, rivers, and lakes. These are natural reservoirs for water.

In addition to water, natural reservoirs are also home to many different types of plants and animals, like trees, flowers, and birds. These plants and animals all work together to keep the natural reservoir healthy.

Sometimes, people use natural reservoirs for things like drinking water, fishing, or farming. When we use the natural reservoirs, it's important to be careful and not take too much, so that we don't harm the plants and animals that live there.

So, in summary, a natural reservoir is like a big tank that stores things like water, plants, and animals, and it's an important part of nature that we should take care of.
