Cows are natural reservoirs of African trypanosomiasis. In infectious disease ecology and epidemiology, a natural reservoir, also known as a disease reservoir or a reservoir of infection, is the population of organisms or the specific environment in which an infectious pathogen naturally lives and reproduces, or upon which the pathogen primarily depends for its survival.
Observed changes in water budgets of an area over time can be used to assess the effects of climate variability and human activities on water resources. Comparison of water budgets from different areas allows the effects of factors such as geology, soils, vegetation, and land use on the hydrologic cycle to be quantified.
Kardzali Reservoir in Bulgaria is a reservoir in the Rhodope Mountains. Some reservoirs such as this in Argos, Peloponnese are made for recreational purposes, rather than storing fresh water. A reservoir ( / ˈ r ɛ z ər v w ɑːr / ; from French réservoir [ʁezɛʁvwaʁ] ) is an enlarged lake behind a dam , usually built to store fresh water ...
The Edersee Dam in Hesse, Germany. A dam is a barrier that stops or restricts the flow of surface water or underground streams.

Lake Mead, a federal park as well as the country’s largest reservoir, has unveiled more secrets as human remains were discovered at Swim Beach on Saturday. More Human Remains Found in Receding ...
We're in the homestretch for Christmas gift shopping now. As the calendar days tick away, there's little time for hemming and hawing over what to get everyone on your list.
The injection of supercritical CO 2 will change the stresses in the reservoir as it expands, causing potential failure on nearby faults. Injection of fluids also increases the pore pressures in the reservoir, triggering slip on existing rock weakness planes. The latter is the most common cause of induced seismicity due to fluid injection. [12]
