This article lists the largest lakes, natural and man-made, in the United States by volume—the amount of water they contain under normal conditions. Volumes given for lakes shared with Canada and Mexico are for the total volume of the lake.
The area of some lakes fluctuates substantially. For those lakes partially in Canada or Mexico the area given for the lake is the total area, not just the part of the lake in the United States. Of the top 100 lakes, 55 are man-made and 45 are natural. Two lakes in the top 100 are primarily salt water, and two are primarily brackish water.
Not all waters have had these facts determined, and so are of uncertain status. All water subject to tides are included.

This is a list of largest reservoirs in the United States, including all artificial lakes with a capacity greater than or equal to 1,000,000 acre-feet (1.2 km 3). Figures given are for maximum storage capacity (flood pool) of reservoirs, not regular storage volume (conservation pool).
Some bodies of water collect and move water, such as rivers and streams, and others primarily hold water, such as lakes and oceans. Bodies of water are affected by gravity, which is what creates the tidal effects. [3] Moreso, the impact of climate change on water is likely to intensify as observed through the rising sea levels, water ...
