Elements on Earth move among reservoirs, which are storage places. The Earth's reservoirs include: Solid Earth, Bodies of Water, Atmosphere, and Organisms. Just like the Earth, the Water Cycle has specific reservoirs too. They are: Atmosphere, Clouds, Oceans and Lakes, Organisms, Rivers, Groundwater, and Ice. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is a reservoir for water when it is in the form of vapor. Clouds: Water is stored in the atmosphere as clouds, which are just a large collection of tiny drops of water. Oceans, Lakes, Rivers: Oceans, lakes, and rivers are large expanses of water that collect water from precipitation.
Dams block the flow of a river or stream and create a lake or reservoir behind them, which acts as a source of stored energy (a battery is another example of a reservoir of stored energy). The dam raises the surface water up to a great height, giving it potential energy, the potential to do work.Water flows from the reservoir and through a dam by way of a special intake gate called a penstock. It's kind of like one of those water tunnels you slide through at a water park in the summer. Water flow rate is in cubic meters per second (m 3 /s). 2  Acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 meters per second squared (m/s 2). 3  Height is in meters (m). 4  Coefficient of efficiency ranges from 0 to 1, with modern power plants having the highest efficiency.
