    What is the zone of electricution if conductor drops into a pond or lake?
    If a 34kv line dropped into a pond or a lake will the entire lake become a death pool? Ar just a "zone"?

    Sounds like someone didn't study their textbook.


    Incidentally, how big is the lake?

    If it doesn't blow a jack somewhere, no I wouldn't want to go into the water.

    Wouldn't get me to to go near it at any point. 4 acres is not that big. In fact, I'd be damn careful beyond the shoreline for a piece as well. Danger doesn't stop at waters edge.

    Conductivity of water varies with impurities present. Exact numbers will vary a great deal between a clear pure spring fed lake VS one that is fed by very hard water, such as the Great salt lake. You would have to know the conductivity of the water... the ground around it etc if you were to try and calculate anything remotely accurate.
