A reservoir is a type of player built construction to contain water or magma. It is most useful to store the sparse water in dry or freezing maps, or in any fortress as a means of ensuring water supply despite conditions of the surrounding biome.
Reservoirs are relatively basic in construction - consisting of walls arranged in such a pattern as to form a closed container, complete with floors and a floodgate in order to access the stored contents. Getting the desired contents from their place in the world to your reservoir is another thing entirely - something where mechanics will likely assist you.
Reservoirs are essential structures in any fortress containing an ocean biome as pumping water through a screw pump into them is the only way to desalinate the water present, allowing dwarves to actually use it.
