context_page_description: The Konin Lakes are a group of lakes forming a 32-kilometre long navigable channel in central Poland. The lakes include Pątnowskie Lake, Mikorzyńskie Lake, Gosławskie Lake, Licheńskie Lake and Ślesińskie Lake, connecting the River Warta and Lake Gopło and linked to the Warta-Goplo Canal.
  The lakes are of particular interest because they receive the water outlets from two power stations and the temperature of the water is significantly raised, supporting a different flora and fauna to other lakes in the region. Water for the two power stations is drawn primarily from Lake Pątnowskie, and discharged via canals to Lake Licheńskie, with other outlets flowing into the other lakes. The cooling scheme varies with the time of year, with Licheńskie, Ślesińskie and Mikorzyńskie being included in June but excluded in October.
  The total area of the lakes is between 148 and 379 hectares, and the greatest depth is 38 m. Lake Licheńskie is shallow and shows the greatest temperature variation, reaching a maximum of 31 °C in mid summer while the deeper Lake Ślesińskie reached 27.7 °C.
