Classification of lakes is one of the most complex issues in limnology. The study of these natural features involves grouping lakes into categories, classes, and subclasses based on their similarities and differences. Solving classification problems involves several approaches based on methods of analysis and generalization of various data. An assessment of the water resources of the lakes in Western Polissya, Ukraine, is provided by administrative regions and river basins. The generalization shows that 417 lakes are concentrated in the area, covering a total of 16,003.7 ha. The total volume of water resources accumulated in the lakes reaches 1,080.2 million m³. The lake coverage rate is 0.42% (Volyn region – 0.7%, Rivne region – 0.14%). Classifications of lakes are proposed based on gradations of area, maximum and average depth, water volume, degree of openness of the basin, and the shape of the basin.
