Lakes larger than 5 hectares

This list is restricted to open bodies of fresh-water over 5 ha in area, because of the difficulty in establishing what is a pond and what is a lake.

It excludes service reservoirs used within the water supply network for the storage of drinking water and excludes water bodies on industrial sites used exclusively for industrial purposes (works ponds).
