The lake is known for its dark, yellow-colored waters. The lake is named for the Imiria flower that grows on the shores of the lake. The lake is 6 to 12 m (20 to 39 ft) in depth during the dry season and 14 to 20 m (46 to 66 ft) deep in the wet season.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Lake Imiria” as lake in Peru. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Lake, Imiria and lake.

Editorial reviewA valuable geographic starting point for tracing changing names, boundaries, uses and administrative responsibility. The current 86-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Lake, Imiria and lake providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Lake Imiria”, the useful work is to connect “lake in Peru” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6476284. Authority coordinates are -8.875, -74.338. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
