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.
While not strictly a "storage" tank, mobile tanks share many of the same features of storage tanks. Also, they must be designed to deal with a heavy sloshing load and the risk of collision or other accident. Some of these include ocean-going oil tankers and LNG carriers; railroad tank cars; and road tankers.

The black rat is a reservoir host for bubonic plague. The rat fleas that infest the rats are vectors for the disease. In biology and medicine, a host is a larger organism that harbours a smaller organism; [1] whether a parasitic, a mutualistic, or a commensalist guest . The guest is typically provided with nourishment and shelter.
The reservoir is a porous and permeable lithological unit or set of units that holds the hydrocarbon reserves. Analysis of reservoirs at the simplest level requires an assessment of their porosity (to calculate the volume of in situ hydrocarbons) and their permeability (to calculate how easily hydrocarbons will flow out of them).

One type of rigid container. Rigid intermediate bulk containers are a type of Bulk box.They can be reusable, versatile containers with an integrated pallet base mount that provides forklift and pallet jack manoeuvrability.
Sales contracts for crude oil will typically specify the BS&W and FW to ensure the cargo meets quality standards. In one case in 2020 the quality documents required a BS&W of 0.2% and did not provide for any free water. Upon loading a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) in Porto do Acu in Brazil, 4827 barrels of FW was measured.
