List of lakes in Taiwan

Taiwan's largest natural lake is Sun Moon Lake. Its largest artificial body of water is in the Zengwen Dam. The majority of Taiwan's lakes have multiple functions such as irrigation, power generation, water supply and tourist hotspots. The volume area of natural lakes tend not to be big.[1] In Chinese terminology, smaller bodies of water (ponds) are designated the terms 「池」 ("-chi"), 「塘」("-tang") or 「潭」("-tan"); larger bodies of water are designated as 「湖」("-hu", lake) and 「沼」("-zhao", marsh); while bodies of water with multiple functions such as irrigation, power generation, flood control, etc are called 「水庫」 ("-shuiku", lit. water storage).
