"One of the solutions proposed for city flooding is the construction of a set of large reservoirs, piscinões, to retain and control rain water, holding it back from city rivers and streams, reducing any overflow."

reservoir = an artificial or natural lake where water is stored so that it can be supplied to the houses in an area (Macmillan)

A reservoir (etymology from French réservoir a "storehouse [1]) is an artificial lake used to store water. Reservoirs may be created in river valleys by the construction of a dam or may be built by excavation in the ground or by conventional construction techniques such a brickwork or cast concrete.

I think I prefer emergency overflow tanks, which are usually kept empty. Reservoirs are kept full. What do you think?

EOT = Emergency Overflow Tank.

Henry, you must have studied engineering to know what an EOT does. :)
