This article lists lakes with a water volume of more than 100 km³, ranked by volume. The volume of a lake is a difficult quantity to measure. 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. For these reasons, and because of changing research, information on lake volumes can vary considerably from source to source. The base data for this article is from ''The Water Encyclopedia'' (1990). Where volume data from more recent surveys or other authoritative sources has been used, it is referenced in each entry. ==The list== The largest lakes by volume vary little by season. This list does not include reservoirs; if it did, six reservoirs would appear on the lists: Lake Kariba at 26th, Bratsk Reservoir, Lake Volta, Lake Nasser, Manicouagan Reservoir and Lake Guri. ;Oceanic lakes Two bodies of water commonly considered lakes are hydrologically ocean (Maracaibo) or geologically ocean (the Caspian Sea). ;Continental lakes The following are geological as well as geographic lakes. In 1960, the Aral Sea was the world's twelfth largest known lake by volume, at . However, by 2007 it had shrunk to 10% its original volume, divided into three lakes, none large enough to appear on this list. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of lakes by volume」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
