Dumre or Dumreja is a plateau and region in Central Albania, south of Elbasan. It has an area of 215 km2. Dumre has 85 lakes. Its main settlement is Belsh. The Dumreja, a karst landscape rich in deposits of Diapir evaporite, is located between the Shkumbin River in the north, the Devoll River in the east, the Seman River in the south and the Myzeqe Plain in the west. The area is characterised by hills, poljes and sinkholes that rise up to 300 m, and even up to 450 m in the far north. Around 80 small karst lake Karst lakes are formed as the result of a collapse of caves, especially in water-soluble rocks such as limestone, gypsum and dolomite.

Lakes lie completely on land and are separate from the ocean, although they may be connected with the ocean by rivers. Lakes, as with other bodies of water, are part of the water cycle, the processes by which water moves around the Earth. Most lakes are fresh water and account for almost all the world's surface freshwater, but some are salt lakes with salinities even higher than that of seawater. Lakes vary significantly in surface area and volume of water. Lakes are typically larger and deeper than ponds, which are also water-filled basins on land, although there are no official definitions or scientific criteria distinguishing the two. Lakes are also distinct from lagoons, which are generally shallow tidal pools dammed by sandbars or other material at coastal regions of oceans or large la ...
