Any reservoir stores something. It can be Oil, Gas, water. Not limited by these.

Dead storage defines something stored that is not used.

Various reasons for this:

It is not possible to use it.

It is not economically viable to use it.

It is not technically possible to use it.

It poses too much of a threat if it was used.

A combination of one or all or others may also be true.

Example:

The planets Saturn and Jupiter contain vast amounts of gas but it is as of today just dead storage to us.

There are large reservoirs of frozen Methane gas certain places very far down below surface of water. This is as of today just dead storage to us because we do not have the technology yet to safely exploit this.

We can easily make a dam here, but half of the water contained will be dead storage unless we make a few tunnels here and there.

Not as in reservoir:

Your sofa has been up on the barn for 10 years now. It is nothing but dead storage.

What place where water is collected or stored?

reservoirs and water storage tanks and towers, typically


Define exchange pool and reservoir and identify an example of each in the water cycle.?

An exchange pool is a temporary storage area where water is held for a relatively short period before being transferred to another part of the cycle, such as clouds during evaporation. A reservoir, on the other hand, is a more permanent storage location for water, like lakes or oceans. In the water cycle, an example of an exchange pool is the atmosphere, where water vapor exists before precipitation, while a reservoir example is the ocean, which stores the majority of Earth's water.


What is the reservoirs function in euglena gracilis?

The reservoir in Euglena gracilis functions as a storage organelle for excess water, allowing the organism to maintain osmotic balance. It helps regulate the water content within the cell by expanding and contracting as needed. Additionally, the reservoir also plays a role in buoyancy regulation and helps the organism orient itself in the water column.


What is the function of storage root?

Storage roots store energy reserves in the form of carbohydrates and water to support the plant during periods of dormancy or unfavorable conditions. They also serve as a nutrient reservoir for the plant to draw upon when needed for growth and reproduction. Additionally, storage roots can provide anchor and support for the plant in the soil.


What is dead crude oil?

Crude oil comes from the reservoir as live crude, containing methane and other lower carbon compounds that are liberated as the pressure is reduced (in the reservoir, in the well, in the separator or storage battery) and the crude is allowed to cool. Dead crude is degassed crude meaning no more gas is likely to be liberated. The volumetric measurement of crude is normally done at "standard conditions" of atmospheric pressure and 60 degrees F, although standards vary.
