Mostly very small but lots of them, usually fairly full in winter but some dry out completely in summer. This time last year the whole place was like a desert but this year water levels are still good, although evaporation is now rapid with temps of 100ºF and humidity 15-20%! Zoom in on the map or better still take a look on Google Earth.

nice one! How are lagoons? Are they vast bodies of water?
