Lake is an area of appreciable size filled with water. It is any relatively large body of stagnant water that occupies the inland basin. Although the difference between lakes, ponds or rivers, and other bodies are not well defined, we can say that streams and rivers move faster than Lakes. If defined geologically, lakes are temporary bodies of water. Globally lakes contribute to a very small quantity of all available water i.e. 0.009%.

Lakes can be classified by two ways:

  1. Natural lakes.
  2. Artificial lakes.

Uses of Lakes:

  1. Lakes are used for commercial purposes, large lakes provide a form of transport for heavy and bulky goods like coal, iron, machinery, etc.
  2. Water is essential for day to day life. Thus, lakes can be used as water storage for domestic usage of towns or industrial cities.
  3. Lakes are generally used for hydroelectric power generation. Both natural and artificial lakes are used but natural lakes are preferred over manmade lakes to generate hydroelectric power.
  4. Besides generating electricity lakes also works for agricultural and irrigation purposes.
  5. It is also used for fishing because lakes are generally connected with rivers and oceans which brings fishes to the lakes. It helps industries engaged in fishing.
  6. Lakes are used for tourism purposes also. Tourists use lakes for boating and fishing.
