Lake Galena (Pennsylvania) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lake Galena (Pennsylvania)
Lake Galena is a reservoir in Peace Valley Park, Pennsylvania, in the United States, created in 1974 by the damming of the north branch of the Neshaminy Creek. ==History and Hydrology== Lake Galena in its current form was created when the county (Bucks) flooded the lake in 1972. Before that time, much of the lakebed had been part of the village of Leven, the economy of which was based largely on lead ore (galena) mining. Mining of galena (in addition to small amounts of zinc, silver, copper and gold〔) had been mildly successful since the property was purchased in 1861. A marker was erected in 1998 to commemorate the area's history.〔 The lake is supplemented by water from the Delaware River Point Pleasant Diversion Project for the purpose of augmenting public drinking water supplies for approximately 150,000 people. The water supply intake is downstream of the dam at the confluence of Pine Creek and North Branch Neshaminy Creek.〔
