The changes in temperature and in vegetation altered the balance of micro-organisms present, new

The lakes are of particular interest because they receive the water outlets from two power stations and the temperature of the water is significantly raised, supporting a different flora and fauna to other lakes in the region. Water for the two power stations is drawn primarily from Lake PÄ

The total area of the lakes is between 148 and 379 hectares (370 and 940 acres), and the greatest depth is 38 m (125 ft). Lake LicheÅskie is shallow and shows the greatest temperature variation, reaching a maximum of 31 °C (88 °F) in mid summer while the deeper Lake ÅlesiÅskie
