Mostlakes ofSerbia are artificial, created by damming numerousrivers of Serbia for the purpose of obtaining hydroelectric power or as water reservoirs. Natural lakes in the Pannonian Plain are shallow, occurring as river arms or bogs, or byaeolian erosion. Few natural lakes in the mountains are of glacial origin.[1]
