Abstract
AS a result of the persistent drought at the beginning of 1921, the level of the Swiss lakes fell considerably, and hitherto-unsuspected depths were brought to light. This phenomenon was particularly marked in the three lakes of Neuchatel, Bienne, and Morat, in which important areas had already been laid bare by the regulation of the waters of the Jura. Long stretches of beach which, until that time, had not been accessible to the inhabitants of the shore, completely modified the aspect of these lakes.
