Lake Nicaragua and Managua        Lake Managua (center) receives 60 million gallons of sewage and other contaminents daily from Managua, a city of 1 million. One plan to cope with this pollution is to reopen the natural connection between the two lakes so that fresh water from large unpolluted Lake Nicaragua (top left) can flow into Lake Managua and then out via a planned connection (right) to the Pacific Ocean. A plume from Masaya Volcano streams westward. (STS61C-37-076)
