Sparkling Lake

The monthly isotopic composition (8lsO) of lake evaporate from Sparkling Lake was estimated by use of eq 12. Monthly evaporation rate estimates were then used to calculate the weighted average annual 8lsO of lake evaporate, — 16.9%,. 

By use of eq 11, this isotopic information, and the average annual precipitation and evaporation rates (0.79 and 0.52 m/year, respectively), the average annual groundwater inflow rate to Sparkling Lake was estimated to be 0.27 m/year (expressed as the volumetric flow rate divided by the surface... 

The accuracy of the estimates for Big Musky, Pallette, and Crystal Lakes depends on the accuracy of the groundwater-inflow estimate for Sparkling Lake (the index lake) and the validity of the assumptions for the index-lake method. The estimated error for groundwater inflow to Sparkling Lake, 7 cm/year (31), represents a minimum value for the errors associated with the estimates for the other lakes. Therefore, for lakes that receive relatively small amounts of estimated groundwater inflow, the relative error associated with the estimate increases and the utility of the method is reduced.

Light from the White Sun pours down upon the crystal tower, which, like a prism, transmits it outward to the land of Logres. As you watch, the mists of enchantment that have always clung to the kingdom are burnt away. The trees put forth blossom the rivers, lakes, and streams sparkle the fields prosper and all the inhabitants of your kingdom are blessed with peace. 

The isotopic compositions of four lakes (see Figure 3 for lake locations, in northern Wisconsin that are within 10 km of each other and that have hydraulic-residence times of about 10 years are plotted in Figure 4. The four lakes (Crystal, Pallette, Big Musky, and Sparkling) are groundwater flow-through lakes and have no surface inflows or outflows. Thus they have the same hydrological-budget components (they receive water from precip-... 

Birds skimmed low over the lake, sunlight sparkled brilliantly off the surface, but the Doctor was like a man struck by lightning. He stood fixed in place on the veranda, about ready to keel over any second. He wants a reunion, he said. 

A freshwater stream may look sparkling and clean, but it s probably not safe for drinking. Many rivers and lakes in the United States are polluted. Bacteria and viruses enter water supplies through contamination by sewage and industrial wastes. Wastes from landfills and mines leak into groundwater reservoirs. Pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers are picked up by rainwater and carried into streams. Streams flow into rivers, and rivers empty into oceans. In addition, coastal cities pump waste directly into the oceans. For this reason, much of the oceans pollution is found along the coasts of continents. 

The best American sparkling wines come from the Finger Lake district of New York, and the Ohio region around Cincinnati. Very little sparkling wine was made in California before prohibition, but the industry is now being developed there.
