Body of water example, most reservoirs are created by engineering dams, but some natural lakes are used as reservoirs.

The term "body of water" can also refer to a reservoir of water held by a plant, technically known as a phytotelma. Bodies of water are affected by gravity which is what creates the tidal effects
