Paoay Lake
Paoay Lake, historically known as ''Lago de Nanguyudan'' and commonly referred to locally as ''Dacquel a Danum''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Census of the Philippine Islands taken under the direction of the Philippine Legislature in the year 1918 )〕 (''Ilokano'' for "big water"), is a horseshoe-shaped lake located in the municipality of Paoay in the northwest region of Luzon in the Philippines. It is the largest lake in the province of Ilocos Norte and one of the largest natural lakes in the northern Luzon region. The freshwater lake and its 1 km surroundings was declared a national park in 1969 by virtue of Republic Act 5631.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Republic Act No. 5631 )〕 In 1978 through Presidential Decree 1554, the park was reduced to an area of 340 hectares concentrated on the lake itself around its highest water level.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Presidential Decree No. 1554 )〕
==Geography==
The lake covers a surface area of 386 hectares with an average depth of 6 meters.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paoay Lake Protected Landscape )〕 It is bounded by the ''barangays'' of Suba in the north, Nanguyudan in the northeast, Pasil in the east, Sungadan in the south, and Nagbacalan in the west near the border with the city of Laoag and some 3 kilometers away from the sea. It was formed as a result of coastal progradation and the subsequent development of a sand dune barrier during the late Quaternary Period.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Archaeological and Palaeoenvironmental Research in Batanes and Ilocos Norte Provinces, Northern Philippines )〕 The lake has no tributaries. Most of the lake's inflow consists of groundwater and surface runoff from surrounding hills during rainy season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Zooplankton Composition and Diversity in Paoay Lake )〕
