A water reservoir is a natural or artificial lake in which water is stored for human use. The only process that can take water from the atmosphere (vapour) to a water reservoir is precipitation.

Precipitation is the process in which small water particles collide and join, making bigger water drops that will eventually be too heavy and fall to the ground in a process otherwise known as rain (if the water is in liquid state).


Answer:


\boxed{\bf~Precipitation.}


Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!
