Explanation:
Water storage is a broad term referring to storage of both potable water for consumption, and non potable water for use in agriculture. In both developing countries and some developed countries found in tropical climates, there is a need to store potable drinking water during the dry season. In agriculture water storage, water is stored for later use in natural water sources, such as groundwater aquifers, soil water, natural wetlands, and small artificial ponds, tanks and reservoirs behind major dams. Storing water invites a host of potential issues regardless of that waters intended purpose, including contamination through organic and inorganic means.
The drains on rivers are gradually lost their water storage capacity in present days:
- The large and growing population and consequent greater demands for water and unequal access to produce more food.
- Industries use water and also require power to run them depleting the ground level.
- Water is used as a major coolant for machines can be met by constructing hydroelectricity.
- Urbanization and its lifestyle have added pressure on water resources over the exploitation of groundwater.
