Standing water

Note on the structure:

• The following types of standing water have already been recorded in a sortable table: "Reservoirs", "Preliminary dams and pre-basins", "Open pit lakes" and "Pumped storage power plants".
• The other types "water management reservoirs", "retention basins", "moors" as well as "ponds and others" have so far only been listed as bullet points, but they are structured similar to the table:
  • Water body name; Water system ; Area in ha; Location to the next important place; comment
