List of lakes of Armenia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of lakes of Armenia. Lake Sevan, in Gegharkunik Province, is the largest body of water in Armenia and the entire Caucasus region.[1]
Armenia has one very large lake called Lake Sevan and more than 100 small mountain lakes. None of them, except Sevan and Lake Arpi, have yet been extensively studied. The water resources of the lakes amount to about 39,300,000,000 cubic metres (5.14×1010 yd3), Sevan holding most of this, nearly 39,000,000,000 cubic metres (5.1×1010 yd3) (before the drainage it had almost 58,000,000,000 cubic metres (7.6×1010 yd3)).
Within the country's capital, Yerevan, it is possible to find small lakes, often in amusement parks.
