A reservoir is a man-made body of water used to store water for populations to use. Reservoirs are used to provide water for drinking, cooking and bathing. They provide farmers with a source of water for their crops. Reservoirs are also used as a source of recreation for boaters, swimmers, and vacationers. Readers will be amazed to learn about the history of reservoirs and the scientific and technological advances that make them possible. This volume places a strong emphasis on STEM topics, and represents both social studies and science curricula. Historic photographs, color images, and detailed diagrams help readers grasp technological and scientific concepts with ease.

      Gr 4-7-A well-done look at a less explored topic. Each volume begins with the history of the given waterworks, starting in ancient times in places as widespread as China, the Fertile Crescent, the Mediterranean, and the Americas. Developments up until the modern period are described, although most of the content generally focuses on those in the United States, sometimes to the detriment of the series. (For instance, the Three Gorges Dam project in China is not included in Dams.) The different types of scientists and engineers who work on each project are mentioned, as well as how STEM influences the siting, construction, and maintenance of various waterworks. Environmental concerns are also addressed.
