South Africa reservoir records across coastal and megadiverse park landscapes

South Africa’s named reservoirs are stored-water bodies modified through managed infrastructure and associated with protected parks, not natural lakes. Each record preserves its documented reservoir identity and protected-park relationship without assuming purpose, capacity, operation, water quality, access, distribution, or national completeness.
