There are three types of lake in New Zealand.

In the North Island, the natural lakes are largely volcanic, and there are a number of man-made lakes used for electricity production.

In the South Island, the natural lakes are mainly glacial created, and there are also a number of hydro electric lakes as well.

A list of NZ lakes is kept by NIWA.cri.nz, and a similar list is in Wiki.
