description The article is dedicated to assessment of the state and use of lakes and reservoirs situated in the Central Region of the Republic of Moldova. The results showed that 1155 reservoirs and ponds with a total area of 11.4 ths. ha are situated in the limits of 14 districts. Over half of them are constructed on the streams. At the district level, the biggest number of lakes is located in Călărași (204), Orhei (139) and Ungheni (136), but the largest surface is attested in Ialoveni (1844 ha), Ungheni (1584 ha), Teleneşti (1358 ha). The reservoir basin status is satisfactory only in case of 1/3 (381) of reservoirs, 40% being silted. Hydro-technical infrastructure is satisfactory at ≈2/3 of reservoirs. The reservoirs are used for fishery (34%), general use (31%), irrigation (13%), mixed use (7%). Only 47 lakes or 12% are used mainly for recreational purposes.
