It is not just the number but their sizes (flow-rates.
A lake can be destroyed by adding an excessive number of outlet streams that drain water more rapidly than it can be replenished, leading to its eventual desiccation. Similarly, increasing the influx of pollutants from an inlet stream can also destroy a lake by causing water quality degradation and ecological imbalances.
Lake Victoria has several inlets, but the Nile River is the only surface outlet.
Generally a "pond" is taught of as a still body of water smaller than a lake. "still" implies no flow movement and would mean that there is no inlet or outlet. However, the term "pond" is sometimes extended as in "Mill Pond" which would have both an inlet and an outlet.
A "bay" is a wide inlet of a sea or lake.
It is rain and snow melt that has filled Crater Lake, and its depth is pretty much dependent on the weather. As the lake is formed in the caldera of a collapsed volcano, there isn't any way water can "get out" the bottom. The history of Crater Lake suggests that after Mount Mazama (the volcano there) last erupted and then fell in on itself, it took something on the order of a thousand years to fill it up. It takes little imagination to grasp the fact that precipitation across the years will control lake level since, as was pointed out, there is no inlet or outlet. Wikipedia has additional information of this jewel of the Northwest, and a link to their post is provided. You'll find that link below. The pictures alone are worth surfing on over for. And they're free, like all the material on Wikipedia. Help yourself.
The marshy inlet of a river or lake is called a bayou. The name for an artificial waterway is a canal.
No, Lake Michigan is considered a lake.
a salt water lake has a freshwater inlet but and inland sea has no inlet.
The water that flows into Mono Lake primarily comes from the Sierra Nevada mountains, specifically from snowmelt and rainwater runoff. Streams and rivers, such as the Mono Basin's own streams, feed into the lake, contributing to its water levels. Additionally, the lake has no outlet, which means that water can only leave through evaporation, leading to its high salinity.
The three main rivers feeding the Great Salt Lake: the Jordan, Weber, and Bear rivers together deposit around 1 million tons of minerals in the lake each year. Since the lake has no outlet other than evaporation these minerals are locked into the space occupied by the lake. Over time, the concentration of these minerals has increased.
