How would I find the average depth of a lake given surface area and volume?
Q. 71. Lake Victoria. Lake Victoria is Africa s largest lake and the second largest fresh-water lake in the world in terms of surface area. Its volume is approximately 2750 cubic kilometers and its surface area is 68,800 square kilometers. a. What is the average depth of the lake (the depth of a box with the volume and surface area of the lake)? b. In the last six years, the water level of the lake has dropped 10 feet (from the depth computer in part a). Approximately how much water has the lake lost? c. What percentage of the volume (2750 cubic kilometers) has been lost? are area and surface area the same thing?
Asked by Lexie - Sat Sep 25 23:19:43 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. a) Average depth is just the volume divided by the area. 2750/68800 = 0.03997km = 39.97 meters b) Volume of water lost is change in depth*area (assuming the surface area didn't shrink along with the depth) 10 feet = 0.003048 kilometers .003048*68800 = 209.7 cubic kilometers c) divide the lost volume from b) by the original volume (2750) and express as a percent by multiplying by 100. 209.7/2750 = 0.0763 = 7.63% ...

A. I have spoken to several others who have fished this lake and they have said that the best method is to get near the bridges in deeper water and throw live minnows. All species of gamefish will take a minnow. Now if you are fishing walleye and/or crappie, jigs tipped with grubs and/or minnows have been said to take fish. I have heard that the best time is in the evening. I don't know much about the lake myself, but am trying to recall what I have heard other anglers say in regards to the fishing. Hope this helps and if you do decide to go fishing there...good luck and tight lines!

A. Do you mean koi? Koi can grow over 2 feet in length and are more than likely what you are seeing. A dog is in no danger of being bitten by a koi or goldfish. Mine nibble my fingers when I feed them. If they bother you that much, contact a local pond supply shop and ask if they would accept them as donations. Then find a very large net and bucket to take them in.

How come only lake water can curl my hair?
Q. I have fine hair that I can never ever get to curl, it just ends up wavy and weird with a bunch of random kinks in it. But this summer I've noticed that if I've been in a lake, and let my hair dry without messing with it (like while laying on the beach) it gets ringlet curls all over! I love it but I can't figure out how to make it do the same thing coming out of the shower! Does it have something to do with lake water? Or what?

A. Hard to go wrong with Hartish Park at Applegate Lake for great spot for a picnic. Great mountain backdrop, large day-use picnic area, and decent fishing in season. This spot is especially good during the hot summers in the Rogue Valley. As a closer, early season alternative, try Emigrant Lake just outside of Ashland. Before the summer heat arrives, this lake is great for all you mention in your question, but has little shade.

A. You need to do some research. There are firms that specialize in this area that can help you. do not pour chlorine in a natural pond! That would be a toxic spill !!! The most important thing you can do to improve water quality in a pond is to try to keep runoff contamination, say during a heavy rain event, from washing nutrients or pollutants into the pond. This can be done by changing the grade around the pond to slow down the speed at which water enters or planting buffers of grasses or other plants, again to slow down the speed of any runoff. Slower water carries less sediment and will get there cleaner. If the pond is surrounded by mowed lawn, perhaps you can convince whoever is caring for it to stop fertilizing. If that is not… [cont.]

Visiting Inverness and would like to see the loch ness lake?
Q. Hi. I am planning on visiting Scotland and Ive always wanted to see the Loch Ness lake (not looking for the monster, just want to see this popular lake) and i was wondering how far is it from Inverness and how to get to the lake. Thank you.
Asked by s_blagoeva - Mon Jan 12 05:44:45 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The start of the loch is about ten miles from Inverness, and it is about 25 miles long. The easiest way to see the Loch, if you don't have a car, would be to take a boat trip from Inverness, which sail there via the Caledonian Canal. The boats leave from a quayside next to the swing bridge about a mile or so on the road out of town. I think the company which runs the boats is called "Jacobite Tours" - I don't know whether they run all year round though. The boats stop at the famous Drumnadrochit castle which give you the chance to get off and have a look around. Jacobite Tours also do bus tours from Inverness - see the website for details. Sightings of the monster are not guaranteed!

How can i catch lake erie walleye from shore?
Q. I'm going up to lakeside, ohio in late July and there is a big pier that goes out onto the lake about 80-100 yards into the lake. I was wondering if I could catch some walleye from the pier there, probably at night. Anyone think i can do this and if so are their any specific techniques?
Asked by Broski - Thu Jul 2 10:42:04 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Although the walleye are in 70-72 ft. of water right now your best bet for catching a walleye would be to throw a Rapala countdown around that pier at night. Having said that, why dont you get a couple dozen minnows and bottom fish off that pier for some yellow perch. You stand a better chance of catching them than walleye. The weather here has been quite volatile here lately so the lake might be a bit choppy. Good Luck though. Have a good holiday!!

Asked by BiLinda13 - Wed Jun 23 21:39:08 2010 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The water which you fish really isn't the issue to consider. Instead, consider what fish you will be going for and what kind of baits you will be using. If you're just a casual Bass and Panfish person, stick with a monofilament line in the 6-10 pound range. You can throw about any bait you want to when staying within this limit, except for heavier baits and deep running baits like jigs or deep diving crankbaits. If you plan on using deep diving/running or heavy baits, you'll probably want to up the line a bit. Look into the 12 to 14 pound monofilament. If you're going for "teethy" fish like Pike or Musky, you'll want to at least use a braided leader. I absolutely hate braided line, but sometimes it is necessary. Beware of this stuff… [cont.]

Asked by Violet - Mon Jun 22 15:05:05 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It really depends on the type of turtle that they caught. Snappers eat primarily fish but will also eat frogs, worms, snakes, other turtles and other small creatures. Painted turtles eat fish and frogs as well but also eat vegetation (mine loved to eat lettuce). If it is a tortoise and not a turtle, they primarily eat vegetation as well (once again lettuce will work). Pet shops have pellets that any type of turtle or tortoise will enjoy. If they only keep it for a day just offer it some lettuce and let it eat in private. If it is still there in an hour try a small piece of fish. One day of not eating will not kill the turtle, so don't worry if it won't accept your food. When they release it they should probably put it back where… [cont.]
