At 56 km 2 (22 sq mi), Loch Ness is the second-largest Scottish loch by surface area after Loch Lomond [citation needed], but due to its great depth it is the largest by volume in Great Britain [citation needed].
[2] [3] The volume of water in Loch Ness is nearly double that in all the lakes of England and Wales combined. [1] Murray and Pullar also note that the mean depth of Loch Ness is 57.4% of the maximum depth – higher than in any other large deep loch, with Loch Avich coming closest at 52.4%. [4]
This table includes the ten largest fresh water bodies by area. Lough Neagh is the largest water body in the UK by this measure, although Loch Ness is the largest by volume and contains nearly double the amount of water in all the lakes of England and Wales combined. [1] Loch Morar is the deepest of the UK's lakes and Loch Awe the longest.

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.
