This feature is more uncertain than the other ones since it results from the processing of different sources under a twin constraint of relevance and free of charges accessibility. <br><div>The current layer comprises 70,847 lake objects, that will certainly be updated in the months to come. A lake is, as a river both a geometric and cultural object. In areas where many lakes are intertwined, the difference between one and several lakes is often that a name has been found or not or that the Corine Land cover maker has placed a limit or not. <br></div><div>The database comprises the following tables: feature class C_Lak with all information related to all still waterbodies which area is more than the Corine Land cover threshold, plus those identified because a reservoir or any other relevant source. This table is completed by the centroids of lakes, V_lak_Centro. The complex relationships between lakes and river segments are documented by table lakInOut where the inlet and the outlet(s) segments are reported. Complementary tables, needed by the water accounts, v_lakperadmin et v_linterfec respectively document the lake to administrative entities, with shared area and same with FECs. <br></div><div>Lake naming comes from fours sources: ERM, Eldred2, Art 13 reporting and Wikipedia. Hydrographical information (volume, Zaverage, Zmax) and is permanently updated from three source: Eldred2, the dams database, and Wikipedia.</div>EEA Management PlanWaterHydrography <http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84> Polygon((-18.70 26.50, -18.70 73.50, 53.80 73.50, 53.80 26.50, -18.70 26.50)) European catchments and Rivers network system (Ecrins), lakes and reservoirs - version 1, Jun. 2012https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/datastore/public?path=/eea_v_3035_250_k_ecrins-lakes_p_1990-2006_v01_r00/European Environment Agency (EEA)English
