Players can ensure that their mana pools don't empty during a game of Magic: The Gathering by strategically managing their lands and other mana-producing cards, as well as by using cards that can generate additional mana or untap lands. It is important to plan ahead and balance the use of mana for casting spells and abilities to maintain a sufficient mana pool throughout the game.

No, it doesn't mean that, that's one of the most common things new players get confused with. It is important to know the difference between the following, 'Land' - Permanents that usually generate mana, 'Mana' - 'Power' generated by other cards, that is spent to cast spells or activate abilities, 'Mana Pool' - The imaginary area where Mana resides once generated, and waiting to be spent. So imagine I have a land that generates two Green mana when tapped. When I tap it, there is now 'GG' in my mana pool - you don't need anything to physically represent this, it's enough just to remember it. I then cast a spell that costs G, so there is still one G left in the mana pool. If I do not spend this by the time the current step or phase ends, then the pool empties, the stored mana is lost. Once that is understood, Blighted Cataract should make more sense. When it says to add (1) to your mana pool, it just means one colourless mana is generated and stored in the pool waiting to be spent - exactly the same as if you tapped a forest for mana, which would add one G to your mana pool, for example.
'Mana' is simply a count of energy you have generated from your permanents. If you tap a forest, you have added one green 'mana' to your 'mana pool', so you can spend that one green mana on a spell or ability.If a card adds mana to your mana pool, you aren't searching for any card, there is no card 'called' mana, and the card does not mean you get to do anything with 'land' cards from hand or library. All it means is you've now got some extra mana to use that phase, exactly as if you'd tapped some land for it.
