Water Smart: Water on Earth - Lakes

Lakes are bodies of freshwater that can form naturally or be man-made. They vary in size and can influence local weather patterns, such as the Great Lakes in the United States. The water levels in lakes depend on precipitation, and they serve as crucial sources of drinking water for many communities. Lakes are also ecosystems for various fish and plants, and some freeze in winter, allowing aquatic life to survive beneath the ice.
