The Earth's water reservoirs from largest to smallest:
Ocean
Polar ice and Glaciers
Groundwater
Freshwater Lakes
Saline Lakes
Soil Moisture
Atmosphere
Rivers
The five major carbon reservoirs on Earth are the atmosphere, oceans, terrestrial biosphere (plants and soils), fossil fuels, and sediments (such as limestone and organic matter). These reservoirs store carbon in various forms and exchange it through processes like photosynthesis, respiration, and erosion.
I think what this question is asking pertains to where bacteria are able to reside and grow. A non-living reservoir are those items that are inanimate that a bacteria can survive on such as a toothbrush, the sink, or the walls of a hospital. Living reservoirs are those that are just that, living. The human body, an animal, a plant, etc. are all examples of a living reservoir.
Carbon moves between four major reservoirs: atmosphere, oceans, biosphere, and geosphere (or lithosphere). These reservoirs exchange carbon through processes like photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and weathering, playing a crucial role in regulating Earth's carbon cycle.
Non-living reservoirs are natural or artificial storage areas that hold substances outside of living organisms. Examples include bodies of water, glaciers, rocks, and soil which can store elements like nutrients, minerals, and chemicals before they are taken up by living organisms in an ecosystem.
roots of trees can prevent soil erosion (which may potentially pollute the river) trees can get water from reservoir trees prevent erosion of outer bank of reservior due to river meandering

The major reservoirs of pathogens include humans, animals, insects, and the environment. Pathogens can be carried and transmitted by these reservoirs, leading to the spread of diseases. It is important to identify and control these reservoirs to prevent the transmission of pathogens.
The total amount of Earth's water remains relatively constant over time due to the water cycle, where water continuously moves between different reservoirs such as oceans, atmosphere, and land. While there may be slight variations in the distribution of water between these reservoirs, the overall amount of water on Earth remains stable.
