[Koha] What is a "reservoir"

[Marc Véron]

I agree with Owen: It is better to explain the term then to change it.

BTW:
reservoir (n.) 1680s, "a place where something tends to collect,"
originally figurative, from French réservoir "storehouse," from Old French
reserver "to reserve" (...). Specific meaning "artificial basin to collect
and store a large body of water" is from 1705.
