This article lists lakes with a water volume of more than 100 km 3, ranked by volume. The volume of a lake is a difficult quantity to measure. [1] Generally, the volume must be inferred from bathymetric data by integration. Lake volumes can also change dramatically over time and during the year, especially for salt lakes in arid climates.
This volume was taken from the summer 2011 record peak of 1,454.4 ft (443.3 m) MSL. Devils Lake has experienced severe flooding and has risen more than 31 ft (9.4 m) since 1993. Volume has increased by 6 times.

Map of California's interconnected water system, including all eleven reservoirs over 1,000,000 acre-feet (1.2 km 3) as well as selected smaller ones.. This is a list of the largest reservoirs, or man-made lakes, in the U.S. state of California.
However, because it is also the deepest lake, [6] with a maximum depth of 1,642 metres (5,387 feet; 898 fathoms), [1] Lake Baikal is the world's largest freshwater lake by volume, containing 23,615.39 km 3 (5,670 cu mi) of water [1] or 22–23% of the world's fresh surface water, [7] [8] more than all of the North American Great Lakes combined.

Lake Surprise [1] is a reservoir made by Surprise Lake Dam [2] on the Blue Brook in Watchung Reservation. On the border of Berkeley Heights and Mountainside in Union County, New Jersey, the lake was created in 1845 [3] for David Felt's papermill. [4] The lake was previously known as Feltville Lake, then renamed Ackerman Lake, and renamed again ...
The lake reached full pool in December 1984 and the original power plant of four 75 megawatts (101,000 hp) conventional turbine-generators went online in January 1985. In 1992, the addition of four 75 MW reversible pump-turbine units was completed, giving the dam a pumped-storage hydroelectricity capability.
