Logical inconsistency

"According to measurements made in 1960, the average depth of the lake was 4 to 5 metres (13 to 16 ft), with a maximum depth of 7.5 metres (25 ft). In the following 40 years, the depth of the lake declined by more than 7.6 metres (25 ft)."

As phrased suggests that the lake's depth declined by more than its max depth, which is of course impossible. 108.51.28.137 (talk) 15:15, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
