It might Ponds often dry up when their sources -- rain, runoff, and rivulets -- don't supply enough water to replenish what is lost via evaporation and seepage. Lakes, on the other hand, rarely dry up because their sources -- rain, runoff, underground springs, and streams -- more than keep up with what is lost. Lakes, themselves,are often sources of rivers.

What causes a pool liner to turn white?
A vinyl liner floats because of excessive ground water. This usually happens because of extreme weather conditions such as rain or snow. A broken pipe, proximity to bodies of water i.e. creeks, ponds, and lakes are also causes of floating liners.Also if the pH value of the pool is to low (to acidic) because the acidic water will eat away the stuff in between the tiles of the pool.
Why does a lake often have a short life?
Most lakes are relatively short lived in geologic terms. Many lakes eventually disappears because too much of their water drains away or evaporates.
Is there any fresh water in Boston?
Yes, absolutely. While Boston is near the Atlantic Ocean, it is also near a number of lakes, ponds, and rivers. For example, there are fresh water beaches in Natick (Cochituate State Park, perhaps twenty minutes from Boston by car) and in Milton (Houghton's Pond, about ten minutes from Boston by car). There are also others which are farther away from Boston, in central and western Massachusetts.
