Talk:Lake bifurcation

Definition
The definition in the opening sentence asserts that a "bifurcation lake is a lake that naturally has outflows into two different drainage basins" (emphasis added). If that is in fact the definition, why does this article include human-made lakes that share that feature? Kablammo (talk) 14:00, 13 October 2018 (UTC)


 * I checked the source that I had used when Í started the article and the source really did say that bifurcations also can be human made, so it seems that I had not read the source well enough. From physical geography (or hydrology) textbooks more detailed definitions also in english probably could be found. --Urjanhai (talk) 17:58, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Heaven Lake
Heavenly Lake (which redirects to Heaven Lake) was added here and at List of unusual drainage systems without saying anything about its drainage, nor does its own article mention drainage. —Tamfang (talk) 19:14, 6 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Agreed; it seems very much like it's a lake divided by a political border but it very much seems (from GaiaGPS's online topographic map) to only have one outflow. TimmyMcG (talk) 13:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
