A lake can be supplied in many way commonly from rivers, rainwater runoff, ice and snow melt and aquifers. In some cases a lake can be feed by underground spring, forming blue water lakes. In the case of man-made lakes, besides previous methods, lake water supplies can be pumped in or by artesian well.
