Which is an artificial lake, Banjosa Lake or Lake Urmia?
Lake Urmia Lake Urmia (Persian: دریاچه ارومیه‎ ‎ , "Daryāche-ye Orūmiye"; Azerbaijani: "اورمیا ﮔﺆﻟﻮ" , "Urmiya gölü") is an endorheic salt lake in Iran. The lake is between the provinces of East Azerbaijan and West Azerbaijan in Iran, and west of the southern portion of the Caspian Sea. At its greatest extent, it was the largest lake in the Middle East and the sixth-largest saltwater lake on Earth, with a surface area of approximately 5200 km² , a length of 140 km , a width of 55 km , and a maximum depth of 16 m . The lake has shrunk to 10% of its former size due to damming of the rivers that flow into it, and the pumping of groundwater from the surrounding area.
Kentucky Lake Kentucky Lake is a major navigable reservoir along the Tennessee River in Kentucky and Tennessee. Created in 1944 by the Tennessee Valley Authority's impounding of the Tennessee River by Kentucky Dam, the 160309 acre lake is the largest artificial lake by surface area in the United States east of the Mississippi River, with 2,064 miles of shoreline, although the nearby Lake Cumberland is larger by volume. Kentucky Lake has a flood storage capacity of 4,008,000 acre-feet, more than 2.5 times of the next largest lake in the TVA system.
