thread_title: Shape of the lake

message: As a Canadian/Italian, I was sent to stay with my grandparents who lived in Maderno, every summer for many years. While at first I was not happy to be there,and it seemed a burden, sent on a plane from Canada and living with my grandparents, I quickly realized how lucky I was to be there each summer. There is not a more beautiful place than Lake Garda in all of Italy. Within a half hour is Verona. Two hours away is Milano. Two hours away is Venice. Three hours south is Firenze (Florence). Four hours away is Rome. A half hour away in Summer is skiing....ski in the Alps in the morning then windsurf in a bikini on Lago Di Garda in the afternoon.
Visit Riva Del Garda in the north, Sirmione Castle in the south....drive around the other side of the lake and experience the greatest vineyards in all of Italy!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.24.235 (talk) 05:54, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Last Friday, while ridig the LN026 bus line from Peschiera del Garda to the Scaliger Castle of Sirmione, I saw a small group of tall wind-electric turbine towers on a hillside on the other side of the lake. Maybe the name of this (newly built ???) "parco eolico" could be included in the article? I couldn't find it on Google Maps / Earth. Thanks! 79.120.165.185 (talk) 19:26, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Needs a map 

message: The article currently says this in the Geography section: 'The main tributary of Lake Garda is the Sarca River, others include the Ponale River (fed by Lago di Ledro), the Varone/Magnone River (via the Cascate del Varone) and various streams from both mountainsides, while the only outlet is the Mincio River (79 metres (259 ft), at Peschiera). The subdivision is created by the presence of a fault submerged between Sirmione and Punta San Vigilio which is almost a natural barrier that hampers the homogenization between the water of the two zones.' It is not clear to me what this 'subdivision' that is mentioned actually is, though if lake waters are prevented from thorough mixing, it would suggest a submerged topographic high. It is unlikely that this high is 'a fault' though faulting could be associated with the presence of a 'natural barrier'. Faults are (to put it simply) two-dimensional planes (or indeed zones) within a body of rock, where movement has taken place and they may or may not result in a fault scarp for example.
