A warm, shallow, quiet waterway seperated from the open sea by a reef crest Limiting element: Is an element essential to life but less abundant in the environment
a shallow pond where sunlight, bacterial action, and oxygen work to purify wastewater Lagoons are typically used for the storage of wastewaters, sludges, liquid wastes, or spent nuclear fuel
{i} shallow body of water which is cut of from the sea by sand dunes; pond, small body of water (especially one which is connected to a larger body of water)
a pond in which algae, sunlight, and oxygen interact to restore water to a quality that is often equal to the effluent from the secondary treatment stage Lagoons are widely used by small communities to provide wastewater treatment
(1) A shallow lake or pond, especially one connected with a larger body of water (2) The area of water enclosed by a circular coral reef, or atoll (3) An area of shallow salt water separated from the sea by sand dunes (4) (Water Quality) Lagoons are scientifically constructed ponds in which sunlight, algae, and oxygen interact to restore water to a quality equal to effluent from a secondary treatment plant

A lagoon is an area of calm sea water that is separated from the ocean by a line of rock or sand. Area of relatively shallow, quiet water with access to the sea but separated from it by sandbars, barrier islands, or coral reefs. Coastal lagoons have low to moderate tides and constitute about 13% of the world's coastline. Their water is colder than the sea in winter and warmer in summer. In warm regions, evaporation may more than balance any freshwater input and may result in hypersaline water and even the buildup of thick salt deposits. Coral-reef lagoons occur on marginal reefs such as the Great Barrier Reef, but the most spectacular examples, some more than 30 mi (50 km) across, are associated with Pacific atolls

n (It And Sp laguna, fr L lacuna, a ditch, pool, fr lacus, lake) a shallow lake or pond, especially one connected with a larger body of water; an area of shallow salt water separated from the sea by sand dunes; the area of water surrounded by an atoll, or circular coral reef
A shallow pond where sunlight, bacterial action and oxygen work to purify wastewater, typically used for the storage of wastewaters, sludges, liquid wastes or spent nuclear fuel, a shallow sound, channel or pond, near and generally connected to, a larger body of water
(1) A shallow artificial pond where sunlight, bacterial action, and oxygen work to purify wastewater, store wastewater, or store spent nuclear fuel rods; or (2) a shallow, naturally formed body of water with little tidal circulation, often separated from the sea by coral reefs or sandbars Because of their shallow, warm water and abundant food sources, lagoons are hatcheries and nurseries for most sea life Most wastes that enter them are not flushed out to sea, and thus lagoons are extremely vulnerable to pollution

With respect to wastewater treatment, a pond in which algae, sunlight, and oxygen interact to restore wastewater to a quality often equal to that of the effluent from the secondary treatment stage Lagoons are widely used by small communities to provide wastewater treatment
