Water volumes in the largest lakes, 2024 edition
Baikal contains 23000 cubic kilometers of water, representing just one of eleven bodies of water listed among the country's largest reservoirs. The data is organized by rows by lake and reservoir name to allow for scale comparison. Two key parameters are provided in the columns: actual volume as of January 1, 2024, and long-term average water reserves. These data help assess freshwater potential by comparing current levels with long-term averages for each body of water

How to read this table
Eleven rows cover the most significant water bodies, including Lake Ladoga and Lake Onega. Each row represents an individual body of water, allowing for a comparison of water volumes. Comparing values across rows helps identify freshwater concentration in specific geographic locations, while comparing the two columns within a single row shows the deviation of current levels from established long-term averages, which is essential for water resource analysis
What is visible in these numbers
The table is 67% filled: Rosstat does not publish every cell, and the gaps are left as they are rather than interpolated.

Period and application
The data is current as of the beginning of 2024 and is presented in the annual statistical yearbook. This information is useful for ecologists, geographers, and hydrology specialists interested in the status of Russia's largest water bodies. Data is updated during the preparation of the next Rosstat statistical yearbook, providing a reliable basis for assessing the country's water reserves based on official measurements and observations of lakes and reservoirs
Для озера Байкал, запасы воды которого очень велики и несопоставимы с их годичными изменениями, объем считается неизменным от года к году.
For Lake Baikal, whose water reserves are very large and incomparable with their annual changes, the volume is considered unchanged from year to year.
