Strange happenings at the Raintree Lake

Colo-I-Suva Rainforest Eco Resort has a beautiful lake - Why is the water in our lake turned a brown colour?

We are currently experiencing a periodic ‘lake turnover’ due to the unusual extreme drop in temperatures recently.

‘Lake turnover is the process of a lake's water turning over from top (epilimnion) to bottom (hypolimnion). During the summer, the epilimnion, or surface layer, is the warmest. It is heated by the sun. The deepest layer, the hypolimnion, is the coldest. The sun's radiation does not reach this cold, dark layer.

During the winter months, the warm surface water begins to cool. As water cools, it becomes more dense, causing it to sink. This dense water forces the water of the hypolimnion to rise, "turning over" the layers.’

Lake turnover is the seasonal movement of water in a lake. Shallow lakes experience very little lake turnover, while large, deep lakes experience major changes as waters of different temperatures mix.
