Kolk Lakes
After a levee breach a kolk lake can often be seen. This is a crater-like depression just behind the breach where soil and other material has been violently removed by the rushing water. After a breach, a kolk lake will remain when the water level recedes.

Famous quotes containing the word lakes:
“When you get out on one of those lakes in a canoe like this, you do not forget that you are completely at the mercy of the wind, and a fickle power it is. The playful waves may at any time become too rude for you in their sport, and play right over you.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
