A prelinunary inventory of the main lacustrine systems found at the Republic of   Panama was presented based on cartographic interpretation of available maps   (IGNTG) and verification or fleid information compiled since 1999. For each   lacustrine system its name, category (reservoir, lagoon or wetland), estimated or   informed fresh-water surface (ha or km 2), geographic location, (district, province or   region and latitude N; longitude W coordínate) and IGNTG map number in which it   appears is given. A total of 67 lacustrine systems where found, located in 39 sites,   adding np sorne 963,15-976,99 km2. The 11 reservoirs, called lakes, constitute the   main category comprising 857,74-862,56 km2 (about 89,0 % of the total), the 14   lagoons, mainly volcanic, have a total of 0,31-0,35 km2 and the 42 wetlands add up   105,10 km2. The latter constitute the most varied category, including sorne known as   lake, lagoons or bogs, and comprise sorne "madreviejas". There also exist about 141   additional lacustrine bodies in 69 sites, which appear without name in the maps and   that require confirming ita origin, including fine coastal lagoons (three "Salado").   Additionally, about 150 lacustrine bodies exist, that appear in 70 sites, which are   artificial (dams, reservoirs, nursery ponds, ponds, etc.).
