Lake Buyan
Bali has four lakes – Lake Buyan and Lake Tamblingan in the Buleleng regency; Lake Beratan in Tabanan regency; and Lake Batur in the Bangli regency.
Lake Buyan is a smallest lake in Bali located just a next door of Lake Tamblingan which is known as Twin Lakes. It is located in the plateau area with cool weather cover it. It is situated in the high land with hill and rain forest surrounds it. Since the location in the plateau area, the fog is usually blanketing the area. This lake can be seen from the top of hill of Gobleg. Gobleg it self is the name of the countryside located on the top of hill where the villager with agriculture life on top of it.
Lake Buyan own the broadness about 3,9 Km, with the maximum of deepness of Lake Buyan is 87 meters and the water volume is 0,116 km3, is considered to be the most severely polluted and also Lake Buyan has faced a 3.5 meters (11 feet) drop in water levels every year since year 2000, leaving many locals puzzled.
The shallow depths of the lake and pollution are due to the erosion of soil from nearby mountains, the rapid uncontrolled growth of water hyacinths (enceng gondok) and seepage into the lakes of fertilizers from surrounding farm lands.
Environmentalists and some government officials say the problems could become worse unless significant investment is made and people started conserving water.Bali’s governor told the press that the “normalization” of Bali’s lake is an absolute priority, with the government required to quickly devise a recovery program for the island’s freshwater lakes.
