A reservoir or cistern is a type of player-built construction to contain Template:L or Template:L. It is most useful to store the sparse water in scorching or freezing maps, or in any fortress as a means of ensuring water supply despite conditions of the surrounding Template:L.
Reservoirs are relatively basic in construction - consisting of Template:L arranged in such a pattern as to form a closed container, complete with Template:L and a Template:L 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 Template:L will likely assist you.
Reservoirs are essential structures in any fortress containing an Template:L biome as pumping water through a Template:L into them is the only way to desalinate the water present, allowing Template:L to actually use it. Desalinated water which comes into contact with any natural earth or Template:L (even smoothed rock) will immediately turn salty.
