Talk:Lago di Bientina

Suggestions and feedback from user MapReader for incorporation

 * You have chosen an interesting article, a lake that doesn't exist any more! I know Italy quite well but didn't know anything about it.  What you have written looks good, although structured exclusively from a historical viewpoint. I know that malaria was a big problem historically for low lying parts of Italy, and I am sure the wider issue of eliminating it must be covered somewhere on WP; it would be good to cross-link to any such articles, for example History of malaria, .  A citation for the early idea of draining in the 1500s would be helpful.  A modern map showing the location would be good, if you can find one free of copyright restrictions.  A section on the geography would be a useful addition - this could describe the location, and explain why a lake was there (i.e. where the water comes from and why it didn't drain away into a river). It would also be interesting to know what the area covered by the former lake is now used for (i.e. current land use).  Otherwise, unless there is anything noteworthy to say about local geology, flora and fauna, or present day human activity, I think you have everything covered.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ganesha811 (talk • contribs) 18:04, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
