Hydrogeological Map of Albania[1]

Albania’s diverse landscape, shaped by favorable weather conditions, significant tectonic subsidence, karst processes and coastal dynamics, is home to a wide array of natural and artificial lakes. These water bodies vary widely in altitude, water flow, geology and climate, influencing their unique morphometric features, water balance and hydrochemical and optical properties.

Lakes are generally categorized based on the origin of their basins, a factor that fundamentally alters their geographical characteristics. The country hosts 247 natural lakes and over 800 artificial reservoirs. Natural lakes, primarily formed through karstic or glacial processes,[2] are further classified into four types: 4 tectonic, 134 proglacial, 94 karst and 15 oxbow.

Additionally, the coastal region features lagoons that collectively cover an area of approximately Script error: No such module "convert"..[3]
