This article lists lakes with a water volume of more than 100 km 3, ranked by volume. The volume of a lake is a difficult quantity to measure. [1] Generally, the volume must be inferred from bathymetric data by integration. Lake volumes can also change dramatically over time and during the year, especially for salt lakes in arid climates.

[1] The reservoirs are often separately given names ending in -see, -teich or -speicher which are the German words for "lake", "pond" and "reservoir", but in this case all may also be translated as "reservoir".
