Is the following statement true?
The entropy of a placid lake is greater than that of the streams that feed it but less than that of the effluent from its dam’s turbines.
If not, in what way is it incorrect?

I think you are trying to apply the second Principle of thermodynamics. However, a river and a lake are not isolated sistems, so you cannot apply it and your question is not meaningful.
