List of bodies of water in Ostwestfalen-Lippe
The list of bodies of water in Ostwestfalen-Lippe contains a selection of rivers and lakes that are wholly or partially located in Ostwestfalen-Lippe (OWL). The waters are divided into the major river systems Weser, Lippe and Ems. Furthermore, they are partly divided into further sub-areas within these areas. The list does not contain all named bodies of water OWL, but at least all bodies of water with a total catchment area of at least 10 square kilometers. The list of lakes is not a complete list of all named lakes, especially because the delimitation to ponds is not always clear. Near Detmold , the Rhine-Weser watershed , the Weser-Ems watershed and the Rhine-Ems watershed meet on the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest in a hydrographic watershed that has been marked with the three river stone since 2009 .
Systematics
Flowing waters
System: name of the water body (no., L / R, circle)
- No: water number
- L / R: Left or right inflow
- Circle: flowed through circle (only OWL circles)
- BI: Bielefeld
- GT: Gütersloh district
- HF: Herford district
- HX: District of Höxter
- LIP: Lippe district
- MI: District of Minden-Lübbecke
- PB district of Paderborn
All tributaries are ordered downstream in relation to the respective main river. The tributaries are indented according to their order in the river system:
- 1st order (river flows into the sea)
- 2nd order (river flows into a 1st order river, i.e. one that flows into the sea)
- 3rd order (river flows into a 2nd order river)
- 4th order (analogous, see above)
- 3rd order (river flows into a 2nd order river)
- 2nd order (river flows into a 1st order river, i.e. one that flows into the sea)
Lakes
System: name of the water body (municipality, district, water area, possibly origin / type)
- Circle: see above.
- Water area: in hectares
- Origin / type: reservoir, quarry pond, oxbow lake, natural origin, etc.
The lakes are arranged according to size. If the lake is the largest lake in a district, the district name is shown in bold.
