Answer:

  1. The water reservoir is a pond in Figure 1 and underground water body in Figure2.
  2. Figure 2 has more advantage than Figure 1 because the advantages of water stored in the ground is more than water stored in a pond. For example:
  • It does not evaporate.
  • It spreads out to recharge wells.
  • Provides moisture for vegetation over a wide area.
  • It is protected front contamination by animal and human wastes.
  • It prevents breeding of insects.
