because there have been many droughts, which cause water shortages.

Simply put, a lake is water that is surrounded by land.

There are also numerous bodies of water that are made of fresh water. These bodies are usually located on land and can also have numerous sizes and names. A lake is the biggest body of freshwater. People often create lakes in their cities because people enjoy being able to boat, fish and swim in the water. Natural lakes were formed by glaciers that moved across the land and dug out large pits that later filled with water.

dams

Reservoirs are similar to lakes, but are formed when dams are used to stop the flow of water from a river. This water is then cleaned and used for a city’s water supply. The use of reservoirs has increased in the past years, This means that people must find a way to store water and ensure there is still water when it is dry. Reservoirs often have mechanical dams which can control the level of water to be saved or used.

wetlands

decaying

Wetlands are places where the land is covered by water almost permanently. Two types of wetlands are swamps and marshes. A swamp is a forest that is covered in water.The water is generally quite shallow and contains many of the dead, decaying plants and trees. A marsh is similar to a swamp, but it contains green plants, with no woody stems. Marshes are often found next to lakes or streams, where the water has moved over the land.
