Artificial lakes, often referred to as reservoirs, are man-made bodies of water created by constructing dams or barriers across rivers or other water sources. These lakes serve a variety of purposes, which can include: 1. **Water Supply:** Providing a reliable source of water for domestic, agricultural, or industrial use. 2. **Hydroelectric Power Generation:** Many artificial lakes are used to generate electricity through hydroelectric power plants that harness the flow of water released from the reservoir.
