This information will help researchers understand how small-scale processes affect downstream water resources. </p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/gettyimages-1979059936.jpg?itok=8HUfuNSJ" width="160" height="107" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">11 </span><span class="month">November </span><span class="year">2025</span></div></div></div></div></div> Mon, 24 Nov 2025 15:30:56 +0000 webfull 213634 at /channels /channels/news/taking-stock-world%E2%80%99s-lakes-264815 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>The total shoreline of the world’s lakes is more than four times longer than the global ocean coastline.
