Satellite image of Lake Nasser. The lake is some 479 km (298 mi) long and 16 km (9.9 mi) across at its widest point, which is near the Tropic of Cancer. It covers a total surface area of 5,250 km 2 (2,030 sq mi) and has a storage capacity of some 132 km 3 (32 cu mi) of water. [6]
Therefore, mean depth figures are not available for many deep lakes in remote locations. [9] The average lake on Earth has the mean depth 41.8 meters (137.14 feet) [9] The Caspian Sea ranks much further down the list on mean depth, as it has a large continental shelf (significantly larger than the oceanic basin that contains its greatest depths).
This list does not include reservoirs; if it did, six reservoirs would appear on the list: Lake Kariba at 26th, Bratsk Reservoir, Lake Volta, Lake Nasser, Manicouagan Reservoir, and Lake Guri. Estuaries and lagoons are not included either. Examples: Lake Melville (estuary) and Lake Maracaibo (lagoon), comparable with Lagoa dos Patos.

Lake Nasser is the very long lake that lies east of the lakes. Wadi Toshka is the large bay in Lake Nasser directly east of the Toshka lakes. The Western Desert of Egypt can be seen west of Lake ...
While about 10 km 3 of the water saved is lost due to evaporation in Lake Nasser, the amount of water available for irrigation still increased by 22 km 3. [31] Other estimates put evaporation from Lake Nasser at between 10 and 16 cubic km per year. [33] Power pylons at the power plant of the Aswan High Dam
Lake Erie is the shallowest of the Great Lakes but bests its cousins in several other ways. Find out more about all the Great Lakes.
The first number is the total number of distinct maritime boundaries that the country or territory shares with other countries and territories. If the country shares two or more maritime boundaries with the same country or territory and the boundaries are unconnected, the boundaries are counted separately.
