[edit] Sections needed

• Lead paragraph

name(s) - both historic and current, location (continent/countries/seaboards), and notable facts about the lake.

• Hydrology -The narrative description of the lake should proceed from the main inflows of the lake downstream to its outflows, noting direction, major tributaries, human settlements, and statistics. This should be at least a paragraph, may be several paragraphs for famous lakes.This section can include numerical data on length, volume, drainage basin, etc.Info on water basins can be found at World resources Institute (site is down; archive). Antarctic water basin information can be researched using USGS maps * Geology - The evolution of some lakes has been well explored. Such information should be placed here, with a suitable discussion of all POVs when possible.
• Natural history-Mention distinctive plants and animals associated with any part of the lake.
• History-Describe what is known about the different inhabitants along the river, along with a description of the scientific exploration expeditions/efforts.
• Economy-Countless lakes have been used as means of transportation, fishing, power generation, etc, and are still used so today. All such information should be described here. Stylistically, this can be a good segue from history, connecting past uses of the lake to present-day uses.
• Cities and towns nearby in prose - complete with identifiable info such as population.
• Flora and Fauna, specific species of interest.
• References and external links
• Additionally history, ecology, public policy, books, websites, etc.
