"The Mystery of Unabsorbed Lakes: Exploring Nature's Hydrological Enigma"

Lakes don't just absorb into the ground due to the permeability of the material at the bottom of the lake, which determines how quickly water can seep through. Rocky bottoms and accumulated sediment limit water passage, while evaporation also plays a role. However, human consumption and climate warming are causing more than half of the world's large lakes to dry up, emphasizing the need to monitor and protect these vital water sources.
