For simplicity a LAKE is any body of fresh water surrounded by land. Size and depth doesn't matter. Also, any stream, creek, or river is considered a RIVER. In addition, anything on our coast-line or within 12 miles of our coast-line is considered a SEA/OCEAN. Since we can't go everywhere some locations are a guess based on the information we could find about that location. That's where you come in. We need your help if our guess turns out to be inaccurate. Please let us know and we'll fix it.

Cameras can sometimes be repaired if washed and serviced immediately by a professional. If there is water or condensation inside the lens, it is a good indication that it may be beyond repair. Even fresh water has a variety of minerals in it which are conductive and must be immediately removed before they harden and calcify. See similar questions...

It is a good guess that some copper-colored striped bass spend more time in the Mullica River than do silvery striped bass, because the river is stained by natural pigments that may enter the skin or mucus. However, no one has followed these fish yet and tested it, so the answer is "Maybe". In Nova Scotia, fishers said the same for "Greenback" and "Blueback" striped bass; differences in the diet and fatty acids of those fish shows that they are right. See similar questions...

Although many brook trout may be seen in the lake, fishing is prohibited. Please leave your poles behind. See similar questions...

Several water agencies have recently restricted access to their lakes or reservoirs in order to protect or improve water quality. Specifically, Lake Tahoe, the East Bay Municipal Utility District and the Santa Clara Valley Water District have each adopted restrictions for their waterways because of concerns about gasoline constituents found in their waters. These actions have been taken on a lake-by-lake basis and have been local rather than statewide. See similar questions...

Yes, RO is generally an excellent choice for homeowners with well water. However, it is important to note that reverse osmosis does not provide foolproof protection against all microorganisms. You should have your water tested for bacteria and virus contamination before relying solely on reverse osmosis. If microbiological contamination is present or suspected, you should combine reverse osmosis with an ultraviolet system for maximum effectiveness and protection against bacteria and viruses.

Most filter systems stipulate that they must be used for water that is microbiologically safe. If your water supply is not pre-treated (usually chlorinated or ozonated) to kill off bacteria including E.coli, you are advised to pre-treat (disinfect) your water or install a UV sterilizer as the final stage of filtration, or both.

The Llyn Gwynant campsite has a No Fishing policy. The lake is not stocked and our view is that there is only enough fish for the otters, herons and occasional experienced fisherman from the Glaslyn Angling Society. There are local stocked lakes for fishing, for example check out Glasfryn Parc at http://www.glasfryn.co.uk. See similar questions...

The pipe is anchored to the bottom of a water body of sufficient depth, and extracts heat directly from the water. The pipe must be weighted to avoid shifting, and must be protected at the point of entry into the lake to avoid being severed by ice movement in the spring. The position is determined to avoid damage from boat anchors. See similar questions...

Boats are used by our guides to transport guests to pools on the inlets and outlet where wading can occur, or you may opt to fish from the boat. It is up to guests to decide. See similar questions...

Hatchlings possess an inborn tendency to move in the brightest direction. On a natural beach, this brightest direction is most often the open view of the night sky over, and reflected by, the ocean. Hatchlings also tend to move away from darkly silhouetted objects associated with the dune profile and vegetation. See similar questions...

River kayaking takes you down a flowing river and may present the paddler with a variety of obstacles and challenges. Sea Kayaking with Kayak Kadavu offers sheltered open water kayaking without exposure to surf or tides. There is a barrier reef around most of Kadavu (and completely around the areas we kayak) that great a swimming pool affect post of the time.

Not if you follow the recommended procedure every time you leave a body of water. Even if a lake is considered pristine, you never know when a nuisance species has been introduced and not yet discovered. So if you get in the habit of following the procedures, you'll help protect more waters. It is helpful to learn about some of nuisance species that are more common to your area, but you don't have to know which ones are in which lake if you always follow the procedure.
