Investigating the potential and mechanism of soil piping causing water-level drops in Mountain Lake, Giles County, Virginia
Mountain Lake, located in Giles County, southwestern Virginia, is one of only two natural lakes in the state of Virginia. The lake exhibits rare self-draining behavior, with recent episodes in 2008, 2011, and 2012 that drained the lake almost completely and revealed the presence of four sinkhole-like depressions, with piping holes at their bottoms and sides, near the northeastern and northwestern margins of the lake. This phenomenon has raised concern over declining tourism to the Mountain Lake Lodge. The purpose of this study was to investigate the piping potential of lake-bottom sediment and its role in seepage and lake-level fluctuations.
