Dal Lake isn’t just a body of water; it’s a lifeline for the people of Srinagar. Summer transforms it into a vibrant hub with houseboats and Shikaras (traditional wooden boats) gliding gracefully. The morning market on the lake is a photographer’s dream, offering a unique shopping experience with vendors selling everything from fresh produce to exquisite handicrafts.
Earth's freshwater supply comes from a combination of sources, including groundwater, lakes, and rivers. Groundwater is stored in aquifers beneath the surface, while lakes and rivers are surface water sources that receive water from precipitation, runoff, and melting ice. Each source plays a critical role in providing freshwater for drinking, agriculture, industry, and ecosystems.
Surface water is water that flows or gathers on the ground surface, such as rivers, lakes, and streams. It is an important source of freshwater for many ecosystems and human activities.
Ground Water
Ice, rivers, lakes, and groundwater are all sources of freshwater
rivers,lakes,ponds,and water falls
no, most water is found in oceans, then polar ice caps, then glaciers, then ground water, THEN lakes and rivers
Yes. Platypuses dig burrows in the banks of freshwater creeks, lakes and rivers in Australia. They do not live in the water.
Lakes and rivers are generally freshwater, although there are a few saltwater lakes in existence. The most famous of these include the Great Salt Lake in Utah, and the Dead Sea between Israel and Jordan.
The weather in the freshwater biome is still and calm in lakes, but in rivers or streames, there is movement in the water passing by.
No, there is far more water in groundwater than is found in lakes and rivers. According to the United States Geological Survey groundwater accounts for 1.7% of all water on Earth. Although much of the water we use in our everyday comes from lakes and rivers, all together these sources account for approximately 0.014% of the water on Earth. Source: Gleick, P.

The water that flows in streams and rivers into the ocean and lakes is called runoff or freshwater.
Lakes Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior are all freshwater lakes.
