Category talk:Shrunken lakes

The Finnish lakes Saimaa, Päijänne and Keitele used to form a single complex shortly after the Ice Age. Which, if any, of them would be applicable under this category? --Trɔpʏliʊm • blah 09:51, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

One problem with the definition currently set out is that it is nigh on impossible to say whether a lake which we now consider 'shrunken' might not expand once again to something like its former size - in which case it would not be a shrunken lake. For example Lake Agassiz could one day reappear - unlikely in the short term admittedly and it wouldn't have the same shorelines but who knows? cheers Geopersona (talk) 15:48, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

This category needs to be reconciled in some way with the redundant list article List of drying lakes. Mykro (talk) 02:25, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
