Figure 3: Global size and volume distributions of natural lakes using a Pareto model.
From: Estimating the volume and age of water stored in global lakes using a geo-statistical approach
Distributions are plotted as the total number of global lakes larger than a given surface area (a) or volume (b) derived from data contained in HydroLAKES. Yellow points represent data that were not included for fitting the log–log regression. Red triangles represent extrapolated values based on the log–log regression. See Methods for further explanations.
