5. Lakes

The Czechia is poor on lakes but glacial, fluvial, karst, organogenous lakes and lakes dammed-up by landslides could be found here. Nevertheless, the antrophogenic lakes are most abundant lake type . These lakes are all the water bodies which

originated as a consequence of the human activity. These are the water works constructed for the purpose of specific utilisation or the lakes originated as a result of mining activities. Dams and ponds will be mentioned later.
