New delhi: The mysterious lake lougharima or the vanishing lake located in the hills of northern ireland has puzzled scientists for years.

This lake, which is considered one of the most mysterious geological sites in the world, can be completes full in the morning, but after a less hours a few hours it becomes complete.

Now, Researchers are starting a detailed geological survey in an attempt to uncover the mysteries of this amazing phenomenon. Geologists have made many speech speculations about the water coming and disappearing in the lake.

Local Beliefs to the Lake

For the locals, the strange behavior of lougharima is associateed with ghosts. It is said that on the nights when the lake is complete full, there is a ghost shadow on the shoreline. Some people claim to see kelpie (Horse-Like Creature That Can Take Human Form) Here. According to another local legend, a carriage full of people sank here in the late 19th century. The Voices of that Trapped in the Deep Water Can Still Be Heard Today.

Estimation of Underground Drainage System

Dr paul wilson, a hydro-geologist with the British geological survey, has recently started a detailed study of lougharima. He said that lougharima is a dynamic landscape and it is exciting to guess what state it will be in when you approach you approach the lake. Three rivers flow into it and none flows out of it.

Wilson Estimates that there is a Sink Right Below the lake, which drains all the water into an underground drainage system. However, this has not been fully undersrstood Yeet. Dr wilson’s study is in two parts. In the first part, a camera has been used to take time-lapse photos of the lake. In the second part, water level logges have been used at various locations to measure the rate of filling and Emptying of the lake.

Other theories to pressure and sent

One theory about the lake’s behavior, presented by live science, is to pressure and sediment. According to this theory, the three rivers flowing into the lake When the hole is complete closed, the water level rises rapidly. When the water reactions a certain level, the pressure on the drain suddenly opens the hole. DURING this process, the water starts flowing against and the lake starts emptying. This process continues.
