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).
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
