Water volumes in the largest lakes, 2025 edition
Baikal contains twenty-three thousand cubic kilometers of water, and it is just one of the eleven largest bodies of water described in these statistics. The information covers both the current state of reserves as of January 1, 2025, and long-term average indicators for each object. The list includes significant water resources such as Lake Ladoga and Lake Onega, allowing for an assessment of their scale within a single reference series prepared by Rosstat for the yearbook

How to read this table
Eleven rows correspond to various lakes and reservoirs, allowing for a comparison of specific bodies of water with others by volume of stored water. Each row contains two types of data, reflecting the state at the beginning of 2025 and long-term average values. Comparing these columns shows how much the current situation in each specific body of water deviates from the long-term average, providing precise figures in cubic kilometers for the analysis of the country's water resources
