✦ Synopsis

Lake Nakanoumi is a shallow coastal lagoon connected with the Japan Sea by a narrow channel . Over the past decade, land reclamation resulted in a 33% reduction of the lagoon's surface area. The remaining water basin of Lake Nakanoumi is scheduled to be artificially freshened to supply irrigation water for the newly reclaimed lands . This paper deals with the seasonal and areal features of the lagoonal environment prior to the beginning of the artificial desalinization .
