This research provides a comprehensive census on water volume change for the lakes greater than or equal to 1 km² in the EBTP from 1989–2019 using Landsat imagery and digital elevation data. Our annual dataset, compared with satellite altimetry and other existing data, covers more lakes, especially small lakes in 1–10 km², and longer time period. The dataset is valuable in studying the impacts of climate change and water balance in the region.
