Before you start - eligibility checklist: LLOTA only accepts permanent lentic (still) water bodies - natural lakes, lagoons, reservoirs, dams, recreational lakes, and former mining lakes.

  • Accepted: natural lakes, lagoons, reservoirs, dams, marshes, brackish coastal lagoons, recreational lake parks, former mining lakes.
  • Excluded: rivers and streams (lotic / flowing water), temporary or seasonal pools, purely ornamental or industrial facilities, wetlands.
  • Minimum size: 400 m² of water surface.
  • Public access: shoreline must be reachable by the public (free, paid, or permit). Personal-invitation-only access is not eligible.
  • Coordinates: must point to a location on the water surface (the tool handles this automatically using the polygon centroid).

📏 Step 1: Trace the Lake on the Map

Switch on Measure Mode, then click points around the lake shoreline. Double-click (or click Finish) to close the polygon. The tool will calculate the surface area and pick a reference coordinate on the water.

Click the button, then trace a lake boundary on the map below.
