"The dam outlet is located at some elevation above the bottom of the reservoir, and the pool below this outlet is the inactive pool (also called the deadpool), because water in this pool is not available for use downstream. The inactive pool often demarcates the expected volume of sediment to be trapped in the reservoir over its lifetime."

Volume morto, também chamado de reserva técnica de água, é o nome que se dá à reserva de água mais profunda das represas, que fica abaixo dos canos de captação que normalmente são usados para retirar água da barragem para seu uso. Ou seja, é o que fica abaixo da captação por gravidade (sem o uso de bombas).
