Most rivers in Mexico are short and unnavigable, due to the rough terrain that composes most of the territory; especially along the west coast where the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range is located. Notable exceptions include the Culiacan (875 Km/644 mi) and Balsas (770 Km/479 mi), which are the second and third longest rivers in Mexico, and flow from the Central Mexican Plateau into the Pacific Ocean.
In terms of lakes and reservoirs, the same roughness found in Mexico's landscape, prevents lakes from being as large or as common as those found in other areas of the world. This however, does not mean that there are no lakes: the most important include the Chapala Lake (1261 Km2/487 sq mi), the Angostura Reservoir (640 Km2/247 sq mi) and the Miguel Aleman Reservoir (500 Km2/193 sq mi).
