Saving a Lake

The lake in Rymill Park, Adelaide, Australia, is dry after a combination of drought, leaks in the lakebed, and, most importantly, a local decision to drain it. But the draining of the lake has been done only to allow contractors to install a geosynthetic containment liner to stop the leakage. And, encouragingly, the project has been delayed–by rain. Looks like things are turning up Down Under.
