Lakes are those static bodies of water on the land surface which are surrounded by lands on all sides and are always located on the land surface. There is wide range of variation in the size of lakes. Some lakes are as small as ponds having a meagre areal extent of a few square metres while some lakes are as large as the Great Lakes (comprised of Superior, Michigan, Huron, Onatario and Erie Lakes) of North America.
Lakes are also called as inland standing water but this is not always true as some lakes are also located along the sea coasts e.g. Chilka lake in Orissa. Lakes are not permanent features on the earth’s surface. Lakes are formed, developed and are ultimately obliterated due to siltation and upliftment of lake beds due to diastrophic movements, for example, several lakes have disappeared in the Kumaun region of Uttaranchal e.g. Sukha Tal (‘tal’ means lake or pond, Sukha Tal means dry lake) and Saria Tal (means rotten lake) around Nainital town. Lakes, thus, may be defined as non-permanent features of static waters on the land surface.
