This follows naturally since frontage on an ocean, stream, or lake provides scenic values and opportunities for the very popular recreation activities of bathing, fishing, boating, and other water sports.

The lake also provides another positive effect, moderating Chicago's climate ; making waterfront neighborhoods slightly warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

The outflow from the lake provides hydroelectric power to Canada and the U. S. as it spins huge turbines at Niagara Falls.

The Zala River provides the largest inflow of water to the lake, and the canalized Sió is the only outflow.

Having a surface at 780 meters above sea level, and being rimmed on the east, south and west by series of peaks reaching 2, 300 meters, the lake provides a scenic grandeur and pleasant temperature seldom equaled in the country.

The lake generates electricity, provides inland transport, and is a potentially valuable resource for irrigation and fish farming.

A temperature difference of ( or as past researchers have estimated: between 15 ° C & 25 ° C ) between the lake temperature and the height in the atmosphere (~ at which barometric pressure measures ) provides for absolute instability and allows vigorous heat and moisture transportation vertically.

This desert lake has an unusually productive ecosystem based on brine shrimp that thrive in its waters, and provides critical nesting habitat for two million annual migratory birds that feed on the shrimp.

The lake also provides an invaluable habitat for seven fresh water fish species.

While stocks of Nile Tilapia in the lake are now low, the decline of this species has been mirrored by the success of another, the African Lungfish which was introduced to the lake in 1974 and which now provides the majority of fish output from the lake.

Although it has been called " America's Dead Sea ", the lake provides habitat for millions of native birds, brine shrimp, shorebirds, and waterfowl, including the largest staging population of Wilson's Phalarope in the world.

It is a main destination of tourism, as the lake provides great fishing, boating, and other water sports for visitors and those who live near and around the lake.

The overlying ice provides a continuous paleoclimatic record of 400, 000 years, although the lake water itself may have been isolated for 15 to 25 million years.

Cullman provides its own town water supply from a city-owned lake within the city limits, Lake Catoma.

The base is next to Rogers Dry Lake, an endorheic desert salt pan whose hard dry lake surface provides a natural extension to Edwards ' runways.

The lake provides ample room for waterskiing, wakeboarding, jetskiing, and other water-related activities, in addition to fishing and swimming.

Boat motors are limited to under 10 H. P., but a small electrical motor provides enough power to get anywhere on the lake.

Circle lake provides a pair of public fishing docs on the west end of the lake: this is the arm that extends west from the north west side of the " circle ".

* James C. Philpotts Park, located just south of the city, provides multiple recreation opportunities such as a 9-hole public golf course, playgrounds, walking trails and a small lake.

Fed by the Black River, Clearwater Lake is a man-made lake located within six miles of the Piedmont city limits that controls flood waters in the winter and provides a major tourist attraction in the summer.

It therefore became essential for the Allied forces to gain control of the lake themselves.

Thousands of kilometers of canals linked river and lake systems and provide essential sources of irrigation for farmland.

Water is passed through the secondary side of the heat exchanger via the essential service water system which dissipates the heat into the ' ultimate heat sink ', often a sea, river or large lake.

Though not a technical climb, once past Lake Aunde ( the uppermost lake, which feeds Piunde ), there are at least four sections where sure footing is essential ; in wet weather various sections can be treacherous.

Due to the tench being a bottom feeder, it is essential that your bait is resting on the bottom of the lake / pond / canal bed when float fishing — use a plummet to make sure your bait is resting on the bottom by an inch or two.

As these rivers contribute 45 percent of the total water for the canal, the lake is an essential part of the watershed of the canal zone.

The lake is essential to the canal's water supply, as it provides the millions of gallons of water at the high level needed for the locks to function correctly.

The essential morphological question is why a language would say, for example, " lake ", " river ", and " brook " instead of something like " waterplace ", " waterfast ", and " waterslow ".

The university also has its own golf course and a seasonal lake ( Lake Lagunita, actually an irrigation reservoir ), both home to the vulnerable California Tiger Salamander.

The channel also allows salt water to mix with the yellowish fresh water of the lake, making the northern parts brackish and unsuited for drinking or irrigation.

The dam was further enlarged in 1916, raising lake waters as part of the Minidoka Project, designed to provide irrigation for agriculture in the state of Idaho.

In the early 1930s there was a project to dam off a third of the lake with dikes on the east side north of Salt Lake City to make a fresh water reservoir for irrigation.

Irrigation of local farms is accomplished by water wells as well as irrigation ditches which divert water from the Rio Grande and two lakes approximately 20 miles north of Hatch named Caballo ( Spanish for " horse ") and Elephant Butte Reservoir ( named after a rock formation in the middle of the lake that looks similar to an elephant ).

A small lake, called Bailie's Lake, formed by irrigation runoff lies to the northwest of town and provides opportunities for fishing and hunting.

Most likely, the lake disappeared due to a combination of several consecutive years of below average rainfall and increases in irrigation withdrawals within the valley.

At this time the lake was becoming increasingly diluted, due to the seepage of these same life-giving irrigation canals.

When it rains or there is irrigation, water runs off and ultimately makes its way to a river, lake, or the ocean.

The lake dried up after its tributary rivers were diverted for agricultural irrigation and municipal water uses.

No overflows occurred after 1878 due to increasing diversions of tributary waters for agricultural irrigation and municipal water uses, and by 1899, the lake was dry except for residual wetlands and occasional floods.

Small hydro is often developed using existing dams or through development of new dams whose primary purpose is river and lake water-level control, or irrigation.

As well as water control, sixteen hydroelectric plants use the water and the lake provides irrigation to 1, 500 km² of land.

The lake, along with the Ogallala Aquifer, provide drinking water and irrigation for this moderately dry area of the high plains.

** Salton Sea in California, a lake accidentally recreated in 1905 when irrigation canals ruptured, filling a desert endorheic basin and recreating an ancient saline sea.

* Tulare Lake at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley fed by the Kaweah, Kern and Tule Rivers plus southern distributaries of the Kings ; however, agricultural development and irrigation diversions have left the lake dry.

Within his territory was a lake that, during the time of the Southern Dynasties, provided irrigation water for a large area, but which since then had become abandoned.

However, the largely unregulated use of lake water for irrigation is reducing the level of the lake and is the subject of concern in Kenya.

After the lake dried out in 1971 as a consequence of irrigation activities, the above-mentioned transportation link enabled the People ’ s Republic of China to construct a nuclear weapon test site in Lop Nur.

Reduced irrigation has significantly reduced the viability of some of the valley's most fertile tracts, especially those in the Tulare lake bed.

Prior to the completion of reservoirs and irrigation works in the mid-20th century, the Tarim's waters eventually reached Lop Nur ( now a salt-encrusted lake bed ).
