turlough, lago stagionale
lascerei anche la parola inglese
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=turlough ...
A temporary lake, especially in Ireland.
Flat-bottomed sinkholes in limestone areas, in particular in that barren limestone pavement landscape in western Ireland called the Burren, can become flooded in wet weather as underground systems fill up and the water table rises. The resulting lakes, turloughs, can appear quite quickly after a spell of wet weather, vanishing again within a few days of the rain stopping. Some lakes are seasonal, water-filled in winter but reliably dry enough in summer to be used for pasture

"The Waters Of Coole
Coole Park is part of the Coole-Garryland Complex Special Area of Conservation (site code SAC 252), which is situated in a low-lying karstic limestone area west of Gort, County Galway. It contains a series of **seasonal lakes ( turloughs)**, which are fed by springs and a partly submerged river, surrounded by woodland, pasture and limestone heath. The more well-known turloughs present in the site include Lydacan, Crannagh North, Raheen, Crannagh South, Coole, Garryland, Newtown and Hawkhill."
