Lake Lokve or Lokvarsko Lake (Croatian : Lokvarsko jezero) is an artificial lake in northwestern Croatia. It was created by damming the Lokve River in the 1950s. [1]
Lake Lokve is located in the mountainous Gorski Kotar region, about 30km east of the city Rijeka. The lake is bordered by the villages of Homer, Mrzla Vodica, and Zelin Mrzlovodički in the Lokve municipality. The mountains of Risnjak National Park begin just north of the lake.
The Pliva is a relatively small river in central parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, however one of the most significant in terms of natural, cultural and historical heritage and value as a natural rarity. For hundreds of years this region was the ultimate stronghold of the Bosnian Kingdom, with the town of Jajce as permanent seat of the last kings of the Bosnian Kingdom.
Jablaničko Lake is a large artificially formed lake on the Neretva River, right below Konjic where the Neretva expands into a wide valley. The river provided a lot of fertile, agricultural land there before the lake flooded most of it. The lake was created in 1953 after the construction of Jablanica Dam near Jablanica in central Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Jezero is a crater on Mars in the Syrtis Major quadrangle, about 45.0 km (28.0 mi) in diameter. Thought to have once been flooded with water, the crater contains a fan-delta deposit rich in clays. The lake in the crater was present when valley networks were forming on Mars. Besides having a delta, the crater shows point bars and inverted channels. From a study of the delta and channels, it was concluded that the lake inside the crater probably formed during a period in which there was continual surface runoff.
Wild Lake is a lake near Idrija in western Slovenia and a karst spring of the Vauclusian type. The lake is the source of the Jezernica River, a tributary of the Idrijca and, at 55 metres (180 ft) long, the shortest river in Slovenia. Water flows from under the ground and through a steeply inclined tunnel, explored to a depth of 160 metres (520 ft). The discharge occasionally surpasses 60 cubic metres per second (2,100 cu ft/s). However, when the water level is low, there is no outflow from the lake. In 1967, the lake was protected as a natural monument. In 1972, it was arranged to be the first Slovenian natural museum.
Red Lake is a sinkhole containing a karst lake near the city of Imotski, Croatia. It is known for its numerous caves and remarkably high cliffs, reaching over 241 metres above normal water level and continuing below the water level. The total explored depth of this sinkhole is approximately 530 metres with a volume of roughly 25–30 million cubic metres, thus it is the third largest sinkhole in the world. Water drains out of the basin through underground waterways that descend below the level of the lake floor. The deepest known point of the lake is 4 metres below sea level.
Lake Peruća or Peruča is the second largest artificial lake in Croatia, after Lake Dubrava. It is located in the Split-Dalmatia County.
Lokve is a Croatian municipality of Primorje–Gorski Kotar County. With an area of 42 km2, it has a population of 1,049.
Blue Lake is a karst lake located near Imotski in southern Croatia. Like the nearby Red Lake, it lies in a deep sinkhole possibly formed by the collapse of an enormous cave. The total depth from the upper rim is around 220 metres (720 ft), while water depth varies with season. In spring, when the snow from surrounding mountains melts, it can reach 90 m (300 ft), and in 1914 it reached 114 m (374 ft), overflowing the southern rim. The lake is a popular destination for hiking and sight-seeing.
Lake Vrana, in the centre of Cres island, is a fresh water lake, 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) wide and about 4.8 kilometres (3.0 mi) long. The town of Cres has been supplied with drinking water from the lake since 1953, and the towns of Mali and Veli Lošinj received their supplies ten years later. It was thought at one time that the water in the lake was linked to some mainland source by underground streams, but it has since been established that in fact it originates from the atmosphere.
Lake Prokljan is a lake in the Croatian region of Dalmatia, located near the cities of Skradin and Šibenik.

Orlovačko Lake is a lake in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is located in the municipality of Kalinovik. The lake area is about 3.50 hectares, and has a maximum depth of about 5.50 metres (18.0 ft).
Ramsko lake is an artificial lake (reservoir), located in municipality of Prozor-Rama, in the vicinity of eponymous town, in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Lake is created with a construction of Rama dam in 1968, on the river Rama, and it serves as a reservoir to store Rama's waters used by Rama Hydroelectric Power Station. The temperature of the lake is around 7.5 °C (45.5 °F).

Its average depth is 2.5 metres (8 ft). The water reaches temperatures up to 28 °C (82 °F) in summer. The lake freezes over for three months during the winter. At its inception, the lake functioned as a fish pond, but retained its architectural importance to the present day.
