Album Info:

(DSC04643) The region experiences a tropical climate, with a wet season from May to October and a dry season from November to April. Rainfall shortages can occur during the wet season, associated with the El Nido phenomenon. Average annual rainfall is around 2000 mm, with the bulk falling during July, while the average annual temperature is 28 degrees Centigrade. During the rainy season the lake surface constitutes just over half of the 7 sq km watershed. The surface of the lake at this time is around 20 m above mean sea level, but falls by around 2 m during the dry season through the combined effects of evaporation and extraction of water for irrigation. Most of the surrounding landscape is a mosaic of secondary forest and rice fields, and during the dry season the exposed shoreline is heavily utilized for growing a variety of crops, including rice. Fish farming is carried out within the lake itself. (Taken from http://ejournal.anu.edu.au/index.php/bip pa/article/view/354/344)
