Lakes

A lake is an inland body of standing water occupying a natural or substantially natural basin and supplied by precipitation, groundwater, streams, rivers, meltwater, or combinations of these sources. Lakes can form through tectonic, volcanic, glacial, karst, fluvial, coastal, or impact processes and may drain externally or remain closed. Size alone does not consistently separate lakes from ponds, so the established entity name should be respected.
