- Unlike rivers, lakes do not flow, but many of them have rivers flowing into and out of them.
- Lakes are crucial for a number of reasons, including controlling river water flow, storing water during dry seasons, preserving the eco-system, and producing hydroelectric power.
- India has both freshwater and saltwater lakes, among other types of lakes.
