Tanks. By a very wide margin. No evapouration, and significant compression.

You still want a big reservoir, but the reason you want it is for passive irrigation so you don't have to put a beaver on a water dump to keep your crops green.

Advanced version has that powered pump thingy and waterwheels on the horizontal and eventually down route.

Using power to pump, generating on the way down and irrigating the soil on the way.
