Thanks. I have discovered some estimations of lakes for more countries, but no datasets.
Belarus: 11,000+ Canada: 31,752+ larger than 3 km² (2-3 million in total) Estonia: 1,000+ Finland: 187,888 lakes 500 m² or larger (56,000 over 10,000 m²) Latvia: 3,000+ Lithuania: 3,000+ Norway: 450,000+ 2013/5/17 Anders Wennersten <m...@anderswennersten.se> > Sorry not, and what we have learned is how hard is to to define what a > lake is > > In Swden some mention there are 200 000 lakes, and that the Hydrology > authority has data of over 150 000 but where less then 75 000 has a name > and many with just rudimentary data.
