Un lago è una grande massa per lo più d'acqua dolce raccolta nelle cavità terrestri: laghi di grandi dimensioni sono alle volte chiamati mari interni . I laghi raggiungono il loro equilibrio idrico attraverso l'alimentazione da parte di fiumi (detti immissari), sorgenti, ghiacciai e precipitazioni, influendo questi sulla salinità e acidità dell'acqua, e il deflusso tramite fiumi (detti emissari) e l'evaporazione. Rappresentano una riserva di acqua dolce utilizzata dall'uomo per l'irrigazione dei campi, come fonte di acqua potabile e in alcuni casi anche per produrre energia elettrica.
