Talk:Cayuga Lake

Untitled

This article was previously a bit waffly about the impact of Cornell's lake source cooling. I've looked at the external links as well as from my own research, and there doesn't seem to be any significant opposition to the system any more, so I changed the wording to be more "in favor" of the Cornell viewpoint, as the opposing views don't seem to have any rational basis nor significant proponents.

a phonetic transcription would be useful

Error in the maximum depth

In the beginning of the article it says "It is approximately 435 feet deep at its deepest point."

Then, on the side where it lists a number of convenient facts, it lists 512 feet and 132 meters.

Something is clearly wrong. I suspect the 132 meters is correct since it converts to 433 feet which is close to the 435 listed previously.

132 meters x (100 cm/1 m) x (1 inch/2.54 cm) x (1 foot/12 inches) =

433.070866 or 433 feet (to 3 significant figures)

I don't know the true depth - I'm just commenting on the inconsistency.

According to fingerlakes.com, it's 435 feet deep. --  -- BeezHive (talk|contribs) 23:08, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I've made that change, as well as making the infobox use {{convert}} to convert the units. The numbers don't exactly match the numbers given in the article now, as they're being converted to relatively high precision. I'll try to make them all mesh when I get a chance.   -- BeezHive (talk|contribs) 05:29, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Any map to show tributaries and their location?

Reading Cayuga_Lake#Tributaries, any map would be handy to see how diverse the tributaries are; with map similar to one on external link but not sure of handling for instance their copyrights. Anybody with better idea could import or maybe create a simpler indicator map. I see cayugalake.org/the-watershed/more-watershed-maps/ have two illustrated maps with labels, under "Downloads" section: Map of Cayuga Lake and nearby Finger Lakes (PDF, 2.3 MB); Map of the Cayuga Lake watershed (JPG, 1.5 MB). For the time being, I added a short sentence referring to the infobox for notable inflows/outflows. --Omotecho (talk) 12:11, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
