Water can be stored easily as a liquid in tanks or sponges, as a solid (ice) wherever it can be piled or as a hydrate - with the water molecules bonded to other non-water molecules. Hydrates are usually powders. Water may also be absorbed into the interstices of porous materials or in tanks as a gas - although it would have to be at fairly low pressure to remain a gas.

What are two ways energy can be stored?
Energy can be stored in the form of potential energy by lifting an object against gravity or compressing a spring. It can also be stored in the form of chemical energy in batteries or fuel.
What is three objects that have potential energy?
A book placed on a shelf, a coiled spring, and water stored in a dam all have potential energy.
What are the two ways electricity can be stored?
Electricity can be stored in batteries, which convert chemical energy into electrical energy. It can also be stored in capacitors, which store electrical energy in an electric field.
Which heat is stored in water vapour?
The heat is stored in water vapour is latent heat.Latent heat describes energy that is not stored as the internal energy (i.e. temperature) of an object but in its phase state.For example, in the atmosphere heat that is transported by an air parcel that contains more water vapor than its surroundings. Because energy is needed to turn water into water vapor, water vapor is a way for a body to store energy (along with potential energy, kinetic energy, and sensible heat). If the water vapor is returned to a liquid or solid phase (by condensation or sublimation), the stored energy is released as sensible heat.
Would water running from a tap be potential energy?
No, water running from a tap is kinetic energy because it is in motion. Potential energy is the stored energy that an object has due to its position or state, such as water stored behind a dam.
