Reservoirs

Reservoirs are artificial / human-made water bodies. The map includes:

• Permanent water surfaces (i.e. area where water is always observed) • New permanent water (i.e. conversion of a no water place into a permanent water place) • Lost permanent water (i.e. conversion of a permanent water place into a no water place) • New seasonal water (i.e. conversion of a no water place into a seasonal water place) • Lost seasonal water (i.e. conversion of a seasonal water place into a no water place) • Conversion of permanent water into seasonal water • Conversion of seasonal water into permanent water
