The Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency published in 2010 a map of surface water bodies in the Netherlands.[1] It distinguishes over 20 different types. There are water bodies with salty, brackish and sweet water; natural and artificial lakes by size, peat puddles and fens. The combined surface of the lakes larger than 50 hectares is 2,500 square kilometers.[2] A comprehensive list of past and present lakes in the Netherlands is not available, selected lists are.[3]

Groups of lakes

There are several groups of lakes or lake systems that are frequently described as a whole. Examples are:

[ru] Озёра Нидерландов

На территории Нидерландов расположено несколько озёр, крупнейшее из которых — Эйсселмер — образовалось после того, как от Ваддензе дамбой Афслёйтдейк отгородили залив Зёйдер-Зе.
