PRESIHAJOCA JEZERA NA PIVSKEM 10 – MALO ZAGORSKO JEZERO
INTERMITTENT LAKES IN THE PIVKA BASIN 10 – MALO ZAGORSKO JEZERO
V pivski kotlini se nahaja 18 obicajno pojavljajocih se jezer. Proti severozahodu si sledijo Sembijsko jezero, Kalsko jezero, Laneno jezero, Backo jezero, Kljunov ribnik, Veliki dol (za Kalcem), Veliko in Malo Zagorsko jezero, Veliko in Malo Drskovsko jezero, Parsko jezero, Radohovsko jezero, Klenski dol, Palsko jezero, Petelinjsko jezero, Krajnikov dol in Jeredovce.
There are as many as 18 regular lakes in the Pivka basin. Towards the northwest the following lakes occur: Sembijsko jezero, Kalsko jezero, Laneno jezero, Backo jezero, Kljunov ribnik, Veliki dol (za Kalcem), Malo Zagorsko jezero, Veliko Zagorsko jezero, Veliko Drskovsko jezero, Malo Drskovsko jezero, Parsko jezero, Radohovsko jezero, Klenski dol, Palsko jezero, Petelinjsko jezero, Krajnikov dol and Jeredovce.
Globel Malega Zagorskega jezera je od regulirane struge Pivke oddaljena samo 200 m, od njene poplavne ravnice pa jo locuje 10 m visoka reber. V južnem obrobju se globel zozi v manjsi zatrep, ki je mnogo manj izrazit kot v Malem Drskovskem jezeru. Dno Malega Zagorskega jezera lezi v ravnini s strugo Pivke na 544 m n.v., zato je pojavljanje jezera pogosto. Ob srednjem vodostaju je Malo Zagorsko jezero globoko 4 m, novembra 2000 pa se je gladina dvignila le za pol metra vec, do 548,5 m. Na vzhodni strani globeli se ob obilnih padavinah aktivirajo manjsi kraski izviri, kjer voda priteka na povrsje iz manjsih razpok v apnencu.
Malo Zagorsko jezero lies only 200 m away from the regulated Pivka river, the flooding area of which is separated from the lake by a 10 m high slope. On its southern margin, the lake depression narrows into a small pocket valley, which is much less pronounced than that of Malo Drskovsko jezero. The bottom of Malo Zagorsko jezero lies at the same elevation as the Pivka river (544 m asl), so flooding occurs frequently. At mean water level the lake is 4 m deep; in November 2000, however, its water level rose only by 0.5 m, to an elevation of 548.5 asl. During high waters, several small karst springs emerge from fissures in limestone rock on the eastern side of the depression.
