Reservoir
A reservoir (; from French ''réservoir'' ) is an enlarged lake behind a dam. Such a dam may be either artificial, built to store fresh water or it may be a natural formation. Reservoirs can be created in a number of ways, including controlling a watercourse that drains an existing body of water, interrupting a watercourse to form an embayment within it, through excavation, or building any number of retaining walls or levees. In other contexts, "reservoirs" may refer to storage spaces for various fluids; they may hold liquids or gasses, including hydrocarbons. ''Tank reservoirs'' store these in ground-level, elevated, or buried tanks. Tank reservoirs for water are also called cisterns. Most underground reservoirs are used to store liquids, principally either water or petroleum. Types Dammed valleys Dammed reservoirs are artificial lakes created and controlled by a dam A dam is a barrier that stops or restricts the flow of surface water or underground streams ...

Tallinn Water Supply System
Tallinn water supply system is a water supply system that provides potable water to Estonia's capital city Tallinn. 90% of Tallinn's potable water is produced from the surface water. The heart of the system Ülemiste Water Treatment Plant is located in the centre of the city, beside the Lake Ülemiste. Because the natural catchment of the lake is quite small (52 km²), additional water is directed to Ülemiste via canals from Pirita, Jägala, Soodla and even from the upper stream of the Pärnu River in Pandivere Heights. The system includes 6 water reservoirs and 69 km of canals and pipelines, which makes the total area of the catchment 1865 km². The remaining 10% of the water in Tallinn comes from 29 groundwater wells, mostly in the outskirts (Nõmme, Pirita, Kakumäe Kakumäe ( Estonian for ''"Owl Hill"'') is a subdistrict ( et, asum) in the district of Haabersti, Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.
