Talk:Wular Lake

Largest freshwater lake in Asia?

We say that it's "one of the largest fresh water lakes in Asia" and then two sentences later we say that it "is the largest freshwater lake in Asia." Aside from the fact that there's a discrepancy between these two claims, both claims are, frankly, balderdash. Wular's area of 30 to 260 square kilometers makes it much smaller than the largest natural freshwater lakes in Armenia, Cambodia, China, Tibet, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, and Asiatic Russia. (I assume we were talking about surface area, but if we were talking about volume, Wular is even less impressive--the great seasonal variability in its area is an indication that it is very shallow and thus contains very little water for its size.)

Rather than deleting the claim altogether, though, maybe we can revise it so that it is accurate. Can we truthfully say it's the largest natural freshwater lake in SOUTH Asia? 65.213.77.129 (talk) 15:17, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
