The Human Body
Reservoirs are tanks that store water during excess rainfall. later, when the dry season occurs these reservoirs (containing water) are used to fulfill the needs of people. example : for agriculture, domestic use etc. reservoirs are mostly used in countries lke india where water is needed the most.
The six major groups of pathogens are bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, prions, and protozoa. Each group includes various species that can cause different types of infections and diseases in humans and animals.
Bacteria and viruses that cause illness are known as pathogens.

Prions are the smallest pathogens

They have established four major reservoirs.
There are four major types of human pathogens: -Bacteria -Viruses -Fungi -and Protists
The Earth's water reservoirs from largest to smallest: Ocean Polar ice and Glaciers Groundwater Freshwater Lakes Saline Lakes Soil Moisture Atmosphere Rivers
The major reservoirs of Earth's freshwater include glaciers and ice caps, groundwater, lakes, rivers, and wetlands. These sources contain the majority of the world's accessible freshwater, with groundwater being the largest reservoir.
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.

A major difference is that Reservoirs are man made and used for human use while other lakes are not.

The most common reservoir of human pathogens is humans themselves. Many pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites, are transmitted from person to person, often through direct contact, respiratory droplets, or contaminated surfaces. Additionally, some pathogens can also reside in asymptomatic carriers, further facilitating their spread within populations. Animals and the environment can also serve as reservoirs, but human-to-human transmission remains the predominant source of many infectious diseases.
