List of lakes of Armenia

This is a list of lakes of Armenia. Lake Sevan, in Gegharkunik Province, is the largest body of water in Armenia and the entire Caucasus region.[1]

Armenia has one very large lake called Lake Sevan and more than 100 small mountain lakes. None of them, except Sevan and Lake Arpi, have yet been extensively studied. The water resources of the lakes amount to about 39,300,000,000 cubic metres (5.14×1010 cu yd), Sevan holding most of this, nearly 39,000,000,000 cubic metres (5.1×1010 cu yd) (before the drainage it had almost 58,000,000,000 cubic metres (7.6×1010 cu yd)).

Within the country's capital, Yerevan, it is possible to find small lakes, often in amusement parks.
