Freshwater ecosystems include lakes, ponds, rivers and streams. Lakes are large bodies of freshwater surrounded by land, while ponds are smaller. Lake Baikal contains about one fifth of the world's freshwater. Rivers and streams are moving bodies of freshwater that originate in mountains and flow into oceans. Plants in freshwater ecosystems provide oxygen through photosynthesis and food for animals. Many animals live in freshwater ecosystems, with some adapted to fast moving waters and others to still waters. People rely on freshwater ecosystems for drinking water, energy, transportation, recreation and jobs like fishing.
