Main characteristics of Russia's largest lakes
Maximum depth and surface area for Russia's largest lakes are presented in this reference material. Baikal, Ladoga, and Onega lakes are described through a set of physical parameters, where each row corresponds to an individual water body. The data provides an overview of the scale of these water bodies without temporal dynamics, capturing the state of natural characteristics recorded in the 2024 Rosstat Environmental Protection Yearbook
Table of characteristics for Russia's largest lakes: depth and surface area
Set in numbers
5 series, arranged across 2 breakdowns rather than over time. 10 values in total.
“Байкал” leads the table with 31.5, “Ханка” closes it with 4.1. The gap between them is 7.7-fold.
All table numbers are series: 5
How to read this table
Table rows are categorized by specific lakes, allowing for comparison of depth and territorial extent. Indicators can be compared directly, as identical metrics are provided for each object: from maximum depth in meters to total area in thousand square kilometers. For example, the depth of Baikal reaches 1637 meters, and its area is 31.5 thousand square kilometers, clearly demonstrating the differences between the country's largest water bodies within a single set of characteristics

Period and application
Data from the 2024 Environmental Protection yearbook will be useful to ecologists, geographers, and anyone studying the country's water resources. The information is presented as a static snapshot without temporal links, allowing the physical parameters of Russia's largest lakes to be viewed in one place. Rosstat publishes such data as part of its annual reports on the state of natural resources and the environmental situation
