Water Storage AreaAn area of land that is deliberately engineered to hold water where it wouldn't naturally accumulate. For example, if a reservoir is created by constructing a dam, the area of land that could fill with water as a result would be the Water Storage Area. Or if an area of land is engineered to form a basin and water is diverted into it to be held for any length of time, this area of land is a Water Storage Area. Other examples include areas of land adjacent to watercourses where control gates are used to deliberately fill when rivers are high or sediment ponds used to capture sediment and protect the water quality of adjacent watercourses.
Does not include natural lakes or ponds unless they are modified to store more water than they would naturally.
