lakelevel
Lakelevel, often written as lake level, is the surface elevation of a lake relative to a reference datum, usually mean sea level. It is a dynamic value that changes with time due to weather, seasonal cycles, and human activities.
Measurement and reporting: Lake level is monitored at gauging stations using staff gauges, float devices, pressure
Hydrological factors: The lake’s water balance includes precipitation onto the surface, evaporation, inflow from rivers or
Impacts: Level fluctuations affect shoreline erosion, wetland extent, aquatic habitats, water-supply intakes, flood risk, and recreation
Management and planning: Agencies manage lake levels to balance water supply, flood control, hydropower, and ecological
Climate and variability: Long-term trends and interannual variability in lake level are driven by climate patterns,
