Sunset over the Water Reservoir
n my hometown, there is a water reservoir used for generating electricity. This aerial photograph, taken during a magnificent sunset in September 2020, captures the reservoir in a stunning light atmosphere. The scene also reveals the rolling hills and the expansive floodplains of the River Pfreimd in the Upper Palatinate.
A pumped-storage reservoir stores water at a higher elevation to generate electricity. During times of high demand, the stored water is released to drive turbines and produce power. When demand is low, excess energy is used to pump water back into the reservoir.
