caption_attribution_description: Ελληνικά: καταβόθρα, καρστικο φαινομένων στο λεκάνη / οροπέδιο της Τρίπολη Αρκαδίας-Τακα, Πελοπόννησος, Ελλάδα. Καθε 4-5 χρονια, οταν οι μεγαλες ποσοτητες νερού συσσωρευτηκαν η μπλοκαριστηκαν, υπηρχε κατακρατηση νερού. Οταν η ποσοτητα του νερού, ηταν πολυ μεγαλη, διμιουργηθηκαν λιμνες. English: One of 7 Ponors of the southern part of the very large Tripoli-Plateau (polje). The plateau has no natural water outlet, which is a relatively frequent phenomenon in the Karstbasins of Arcadia (island of the Peloponnese in Greece). When precipitation of winters was exceptionally rich, the polje became flooded, until the second half of the 20th century even temporary lakes were possible. In such a case ponors became vital. See also the photo: Image:katavothra_Taka-plain_Tripoli-Polje_Peloponnese_Greece.jpg Deutsch: Eines der 7 Ponore des südlichen Teils des sehr großen Tripoli-Hochplateaus (Polje). Relativ häufige Erscheinung in Karstbecken Arkadiens (nordöstlicher Peloponnes, Griechenland). In besonders niederschlagsreichen Wintern wurden große Teile des gesamten Poljes früher immer wieder nass, u.U. bildeten sich sogar Seen.

context_page_description: Lake Taka is a temporary lake located in the south of a large basin called “Tripoli-Plateau” in Greece. In the winter, the southern part of the basin often gets flooded, and a lake forms from a large amount of fresh rainwater because of insufficient surface drainage. A wetland biotope quickly develops, and species of water-loving fauna appear. In the hot and dry summer, the lake dries up. Over time, karstification creates several ponors, where water leaves the basin through groundwater.
