Site Description
The two lakes are the uppermost of a complex of three sets of lakes positioned one above each other: Lake Matano, Lake Mahalano, Lake Towuti. A large lake system surrounded by 2,000 ha of wet lowland forest and forested hills (12,000 ha). The size of Lake Matano is 16,408 ha and Lake Mahalona is 2,440 ha. There is some open secondary forest to the southwest. The area is highly disturbed by nickel mining at Soroako, which has contaminated runoff from shifting cultivation. Heavy siltation of the lake bottom has occurred (Indonesian Wetland Inventory 1987) Lake Matano has two sub-basinds, the west basin in 595 m deep while the east basin 485 m deep. Echosounding of the lake bottom shows a rather flat bottom. Indication of turbidity currents has been recorded. Although not accurately measured but currents along the longest axis of the lake is very strong. Principal vegetation: Callophyllum spp.

More from this Author

Born in the Netherlands on 23-04-1940 and passed away in Bali on 25-05-2015. Farelli was the pseudonym of a remarkable man who was infused with an obsessive desire to create things that did not yet exist. Born in the Netherlands in 1940 Dolf Versteegh left his home country in 1990 in order to start a new life on the Island of Bali. Without any formal education he reinvented himself as an architect, as a designer of furniture, as a sculptor and as a writer. As a teenager Dolf spent only three years in High School but he kept studying history and the natural world all his life and during his last 25 years on Bali he revealed himself not only as versatile artist but also as a formidable scholar of biology. Farelli was a prolific creator of web content and what he has left behind will remain standing as a great monument to his creative spirit, his ingenuity and his never-ending search for knowledge.
