The climate of a lake plays an important role in determining the characteristics of its ecosystem. The climate determines the amount of precipitation that falls on the lake, as well as the chemical composition and biological community that it hosts. Climate also affects how the lake mixes and receives water. Some lakes receive additional water from streams, rivers, and aquifers.

Different types of lakes have different characteristics, including their depth, temperature, and inflow and outflow. These characteristics are the foundations for the classification of a lake. Some lakes are large, while others are small. In addition to their size and shape, they can also be classified by their basin. Basins are bowl-shaped holes or craters in the ground that contain a body of water, which is a lake.
