Owen Falls Lake in Uganda is the largest man-made lake in the world holding about 45 trillion gallons of water.
Lake Nasser, the second largest man-made lake in the world.
The Zambezi River is the third largest man made lake in the world.
Lake Mead, the 16th largest man-made lake in the world
Just a few.
I think you might get confused with all the info so also check geographic website and the World Almanac, etc. to double check . Better to be sure yourself anyway.
