Frivolous question but - I was told once that the definition of a
lake was
that it covered an acre of land. In discussing this with someone,
I saw an
internet definition giving 0.25 of a hectare as a lake. Anyone got
any
other ideas/sources/definitions?

A lake is generally fed by a stream.

But so are many ponds

True, so I still think the definition of a lake is to do with size.

So where does a lakelet fit in? Something which is a bit too ponderous?

Are tarns too tarnished?
