Abstract: The lake equations left{�egin{aligned}

When the depth b is positive everywhere in D and constant on the boundary, we prove that the vorticity of solutions of the lake equations whose initial vorticity concentrates at an interior point is asympotically a multiple of a Dirac mass whose motion is governed by the depth function b.
