Man made lakes used for the storage of water are typically known as reservoirs.
ANSWER
I might add the following for some interesting facts.
Artificial, also called a reservoir: A lake created by flooding land behind a dam, by human excavation, or by the flooding of an open pit mine (sometimes called a quarry). Some of the world's largest lakes are reservoirs. Husain Sagar is a reservoir in India built in 1562.
