1)Lake Burley Griffin(伯利·格里芬湖)

Lake Burley Griffin is an artificial lake in the center of Canberra,the capital of Australia.It was completed in 1963 after the Molonglo River—which ran between the city center and Parliamentary Triangle—was dammed.It is named after Walter Burley Griffin,the American architect who won the competition to design the city of Canberra.

The lake is an ornamental body with a length of 11 kilometers;at its widest,it measures 1.2 kilometers.It has an average depth of 4 meters and a maximum depth of about 18 meters near the Scrivener Dam.Its flow is regulated by the 33-metre(108 ft)tall Scrivener Dam,designed to handle floods that occur once in 5000 years.In times of drought,water levels can be maintained through the release of water from Googong Dam,located on an upstream tributary of the Molonglo River.
