	Encyclopedia article: Lake Merced (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The odd thing about Lake Merced is that it actually consists three lakes: when the military occupied the lake it was split into three sections.
		The lake is fed by an underground spring, and at one time it did have an outlet to the ocean.
		There is also a rumor that sea lion (Any of several large eared seals of the northern Pacific related to fur seals but lacking their valuable coat) s were brought in to get rid of a pesky fish.

	Lake Merced (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Lake Merced is a dual lake system so large that it dwarfs all other lakes in and around San Francisco.
		The problem with Lake Merced since the 1980s has been the three massive golf courses which surround it and have been sucking it dry by diverting the ground water for their own irrigation needs.
		The nicest part of the lake is perhaps the southern lagoon of South Lake which is physically separated from the main lake with an earthen divide and walking bridge.

	Neighborhood Parks Council: Events (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		After a review of the issues impacting Mountain Lake, Pine Lake, and Lake Merced, it is clear that all three lakes are heavily degraded and that while the specific manifestations are not the same, human activity and urbanization are to blame in all cases.
		Lake Merced’s decline is tied to the same root cause as that at Pine Lake -- the regional decline of groundwater levels in the Westside Basin aquifer, which supports water levels at both lakes.
		While adding water to the lake is an effective short-term method to stop the decline of the lake, the use of this strategy as a long-term solution would require a large volume of water, estimated by the SFPUC at 1 million gallons per day or about 1,100 acre-feet per year, on a permanent basis.

	Flora of Lake Merced
		Lake Merced, located in the western part of the city of San Francisco, is part of the formerly common and widespread sand dunes, which extended inland through low places between the hills almost to the bay (Howell, Raven, and Rubtzoff 1958).
		The habitat of Lake Merced is unique because it supports riparian communities, dune scrub communities and woodland forests on one of the few remaining natural bodies of water remaining on the peninsula.
		Lake Merced was designated a Significant Natural Area by the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department Commission in 1995, and in April 1998, a draft version of the Lake Merced Comprehensive Management Plan (LMCMP) was developed in cooperation with city agencies, private citizens and community groups.

		This section of the geology and hydrogeology of Lake Merced includes details of the formation of Lake Merced, which is a relatively recent event compared to the formation of the Franciscan complex, the Merced Formation, and the Colma Formation.
