Bodies of water in Leipzig

Lake Cospuden with Belantis in the background

Bodies of water in Leipzig are the rivers White Elster, Pleiße and Parthe as well as numerous streams with the Leipzig Riverside Forest in Leipzig, Germany. Many of these watercourses have been diverted, canalised or drained for economic use, to defend the city and to protect against flooding, and new ditches and canals have also been built. A large number of ponds and lakes have also been created for fish farming, for urban planning reasons^[1] or as a result of open cast mining.^[2]
