List of lakes of Armenia explained

This is a list of lakes of Armenia. Lake Sevan, in Gegharkunik Province, is the largest body of water in Armenia and the entire Caucasus region.^[1]

Armenia has one very large lake called Lake Sevan and more than 100 small mountain lakes. None of them, except Sevan and Lake Arpi, have yet been extensively studied. The water resources of the lakes amount to about 39300000000m², Sevan holding most of this, nearly 39000000000m² (before the drainage it had almost 58000000000m²).

Within the country's capital, Yerevan, it is possible to find small lakes, often in amusement parks.
