Albania is located in the Balkan Penisula, covering an area of 28.748 km² of which some 1.350 km² are wetland areas. The total border length of Albania is 1.094 km.  It is neighbor to Montenegro (172 km) from the North, Kosovo (112 km) from the northeast, Republic of Macedonia (151 km) from the east, the Adriatic Sea from the West, and İyonSea from the southwest. The Albanian territory is divided into 7 hydrological river basins. Albania is home to 247 natural lakes and more than 800 artificial lakes. The natural lakes, most of karstic or glacial origin, based on their origin, are classified as the following, 4 tectonic, 134 ice-dammed, 94 karst and 15 river. Lagoons are present along the coastal region. They occupy an area of 150 km2 (58 sq mi).[Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lakes_of_Albania]  The largest and most important among them is Lake Ohrid which rests within the Drin River Basin that comprises the watersheds of the Prespa, Ohrid, and Shkoder Lakes, as well as Black Drin, White Drin, and Buna/Bojana Rivers. The Drin River Basin spreads in a geographical area of 19,582 km² that extends in Albania, Greece, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and Kosovo. The population within the whole basin is about 167,000 (about 106,000 of which live in the Macedonian sub-watershed and about 61,000 in the Albanian one). Lake Ohrid is a neighbor to the Republic of Macedonia, and Lake Prespa is on the borders of Macedonia and Greece and the borders of the country go over these lakes. Albania is a mountainous and rugged country. On the east of the country, you can see an important branch of the Alps which is the Dinar Alps ranging from the North to the South. In the region shaped by the Alpine folding during the middle of the tertiary, hilly blocks were roughly split towards the northwest-southeast direction. In general, the elevation decreases from east to west and low plains take place along the Adriatic coast. Lakes have also been formed in the inner parts in lower areas. Korabi (2.751 m), Jezerca (2.694 m), Radohima (2.570 m), Gramozi (2. 523 m), Gjallica e Lumes (2.487 m), Nemerçka (2.485 m), Tomorri (2.417 m), Koritniku (2.396 m), Mali iThate (2.287m) are only some of the important mountains.
