	THE HISTORY OF LAKE ERIE
		Lake Erie, the great body of fresh water forming Ohio's north coast, is the fourth largest of the five Great Lakes; nevertheless, Lake Erie should not be considered an also-ran, as it is the 12th largest freshwater lake in the world.
		Lake Erie is also a dynamic body of water noted for the ferocity of its storm waves and the havoc they wreak along the lakeshore.
		The Lake Erie basin is underlain by Silurian and Devonian carbonates (limestone and dolomite) on the west and by Devonian shales on the east.

	Geology and Geomorphology of Erie-Huron Lake Plain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Lake Erie basin is underlain by Silurian and Devonian limestone and dolomite in the western basin and by Devonian shales on the eastern end.
		As the ice receded northward, Glacial Lake Maumee extended its surface area, but as a new and lower drainage outlet was developed the lake level dropped form 800 to 760 feet ASL (marking the extent of Glacial Lake Maumee substage 2).
		Lake Grassmere at 640 feet, Lake Dana at 590 feet, and Lake Elkton at 620 feet, respectively.

	Lake Grassmere
		Maori apparently had no specific name for the lake even though they had a presence for hundreds of years, however, the name for the region was Kaparatehau or wind ruffled waters.
		Lake Grassmere formed 1800 years ago in the ward depression as a shallow bay only to become enclosed by gravel moving northwards along the coast.
		Nowadays, Lake Grassmere is subdivided into a series of ponds with gates to allow water in and out.

		Produced by the natural or artificial evaporation of seawater from salt lakes or by mining buried salt deposits which formed millions of years ago.
		All of the salt produced in New Zealand is made by Dominion Salt Ltd either by evaporating seawater at Lake Grassmere near Blenheim or by the vacuum pan evaporation method.
		Lake Grassmere is a suitable evaporation site as the area had low rainfall, high sunshine hours, and is windy.

	4.1. Introduction, biology and ecology of Artemia
		Those cysts are available year-round in large quantities along the shorelines of hypersaline lakes, coastal lagoons and solar saltworks scattered over the five continents.
		With the growing interest for tropical hobby fish in the late 1940’s, commercial value was attached to brine shrimp, thereby establishing a new industry.
		Artemia populations are found in about 500 natural salt lakes and man-made salterns scattered throughout the tropical, subtropical and temperate climatic zones, along coastlines as well as inland (Fig.

	GRASSMERE, LAKE - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		Lake Grassmere, 25 miles south of Blenheim and 6 miles south of the mouth of the Awatere River, is a shallow lagoon protected from the open sea by a single barrier beach covered by sand dunes.
		Grassmere was the name of the homestead of F. Weld on the Flaxbourne Run, and was later applied to the lake.
		According to a legend, the lake occupies the site of cultivations known as Ka-para-te-hau (early whalers on the coast rendered this name “Cobblers' Hole”).

	Salt - Salt making at Lake Grassmere - Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand
		Manufacturing salt at Lake Grassmere is a process of concentrating the salt content of sea water by evaporation, then harvesting the crystallised salt.
		When the salt content in the lake has increased to 5% the brine is transferred to a series of large concentration ponds.
		At the end of summer Lake Grassmere’s gleaming white salt piles are easily seen from State Highway 1.

		Lake Grassmere bruges til produktion af salt, hvilket foregår ved at havvand ledes ind i søen (der altså nærmere er en lagune), der derpå aflukkes mod havet.
		Saltproduktionsanlægget ved Lake Grassmere blev konstrueret i 1943 efter initiativ fra en forretningsmand fra Christchurch, George Skellerup!
		Da saltet ganske enkelt produceres ved at havvand fordamper og efterlader saltet, så er Lake Grassmere et velegnet område, da her er meget solrigt og der falder kun lidt regn.

		"If we approach the lake through the concept of ’spirit of the lake’ (analogical to the concept of sense of place) we first have to consider the lake as a place or (at least) as a meaningful landscape.

	Australian Pelican - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When the normally barren Lake Eyre filled during 1974 to '76, for example, only a handful of pelicans remained around the coastal cities: when the great inland lakes dried again, the population dispersed once more, flocks of thousands being seen on the northern coasts and some individuals reaching Christmas Island, Palau and New Zealand.
		The species became first known to occur in New Zealand from a specimen shot at Jerusalem in 1890 and small numbers of subfossil bones, the first found at Lake Grassmere in 1947, followed by records of other stray individuals.

		We headed around to the seaward side of the lake (for directions email me) and found a good concentration of waders, grey teal and fl-billed gulls (which looked like they were about to start breeding?).
		Amongst the waders we located the red-necked phalarope that had first been seen by Karl Evans and Scott Butcher on 9-10/11, awesome views of this great little bird from about 20m away.

	News Update
		I first saw it on Sunday, November 5th, at the south lake in Washington Park (Denver, CO) The lake, Grassmere, has been partially drained this year in preparation for some improvements and there is only a small portion of water remaining from what is a moderate sized park lake.
		There is a great deal of lake bed exposed and the retaining walls around the lake are now fronted with a buffer of underbrush.
		There is a pier/boardwalk extending out into Grassmere and several times I have seen people on the pier when the hawk will land on the railing with 10 or so feet of them.

		They pump seawater into huge shallow ponds and use the strong winds and hot summer days to evaporate the water so only the salt from the seawater is left.
		Dominion Salt at Lake Grassmere can produce up to 65,000 tonnes of salt a year.

		While most of the output from the Lake Grassmere evaporation ponds is used to supply the South Island market, the larger Mount Maunganui plant imports much of its raw salt from Australia.
		At both Dominion Salt’s Mount Maunganui and Grassmere sites, vacuum pan plants are used to convert the brine solution into high quality salt.
		Ironically, while the Marlborough drought proved devastating for farmers, it produced a bumper crop in excess of 100,000 tonnes of salt at the Grassmere evaporation ponds.
