Lakes Of Australia





OVERVIEW


Most lakes in Australia fall within one of three categories
  • Coastal Lake s and Lagoon s

  • lakes created by man-made dams for water storage

  • predominantly dry, Salt Lake s in the flat desert regions of the country lacking in organised drainage.


In Tasmania , due to Glaciation , there are a large number of natural freshwater lakes on the central plateau, many of which have been enlarged or modified by Hydro-electric developments.
