	Lake Illawarra Authority - Lake Facts: Water Quality (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Although the lake is shallow, wind induced circulation patterns result in the water being well mixed in the main body of the lake.
		Sediments which flow into the lake carry with them nutrients, particularly phosphorous and nitrogen, which are present in animal faeces, detergents, fertilisers and sewerage, which are all part of urban and rural runoff.
		Salinity in Lake Illawarra is generally lower than the ocean, reflecting physical factors such as the intermittently closed nature of the entrance, the volume of stormwater, rainfall and runoff occurring.

	2 - Background (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Illawarra district, as defined in this report, is comprised of the local government areas (LGA) of Wollongong; Shellharbour; Kiama; part of Shoalhaven City Council LGA north of the Shoalhaven River; and the part of Sutherland Shire Council LGA that includes the Royal National Park (Figure 2.1).
		The Illawarra is no exception as topographic structure of the landscape and nature of the prevailing air masses are the two major factors that influence the Region's precipitation (Cox 1983, Mills 1986).
		Notable areas in the Illawarra whose rainfall patterns are influenced by rainshadows include the Albion Park-Dapto area surrounding Lake Illawarra, the Woronora Plateau west of the Escarpment (see Cox 1983, Mills 1986) and the Lower Kangaroo Valley (township locality).

	Lake Huron - Uncyclopedia
		Lake Huron®, test bed for the designers of Lake Nylon®, Lake Dacron®, and Lake Teflon®, was the first entirely synthetic lake to be developed by E.I. duPont de Nemours and Co., the famed chemists of the fictional state of Delaware.
		The idea for a completely manmade non-stick lake was devised when monsieur duPont took a look at Lake Inferior and realised how dirty the Great Lakes were becoming from everyday use.
		Sadly, as the first crude prototype of an entirely plastic lake, Lake Huron® began to attract far too many shallow plastic people, mostly Toronto suburbanites looking for good cottage spots.

		Lake Illawarra is a typical shallow intertidal barrier lagoon in south-eastern Australia.
		The lake is considered as strongly nitrogen limited, and eutrophication is the key environmental problem as a consequence of an expansion of catchment development with associated increases in urban, rural and industrial pollution in recent decades.
		The aim of this study was to investigate the internal biogeochemical nitrogen cycling processes and the interactions with the carbon cycling processes in Lake Illawarra, in order to a improve the understanding of the system and to increase the overall knowledge base on nutrient biogeochemical cycling in coastal water bodies.

	Definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The period from 40 years to the present, corresponding with an increase in urban and industrial development within the Lake Illawarra catchment, shows a dramatic increase in sedimentation rate to 4.5 mm/a, however some of this can be attributed to lower compaction within the upper portion of the core (Fig.3).
		Using Lake Illawarra on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia, as a case study, this research highlights the potential of aspartic acid for dating the Holocene marginal marine record.
		For the Lake Illawarra barrier estuary the results indicate that the sedimentation rate prior to European settlement was less than or equal to ca 1 mm/year or less, and that significant acceleration in sedimentation rates is observed post-European settlement to a rate of ca 4 mm/year.

		The Holocene evolution of Lake Illawarra, New South Wales, reflects the influence of the post-glacial marine transgression and sea level highstand on sedimentation within the developing barrier estuary.
		Twenty-six vibracores from the fluvial-estuarine, central lagoon and marine-estuarine environments, in conjunction with extensive seismic traverses across Lake Illawarra formed the basis of this investigation.
		Knowledge about the stratigraphic evolution of Lake Illawarra will assist in providing a better understanding of past depositional processes operating within the lagoon, as well as for developing a model for future sedimentary trends in estuarine environments along the Illawarra coastline.
