Lago_Alajuela,_Panama.jpg

Summary

Description Lago Alajuela, Panama.jpg	English: Natural-colour image of Lago Alajuela. This image has been rotated so north is to the right. The Panama Canal lies off the top left corner of the image. Torrential rains can erode soils, delivering heavy sediment loads to streams, rivers, and lakes. Ranging in colour from dull green to tan, Lago Alajuela appears choked with sediment, contrasting sharply with the surrounding green forest .
