Abstract: In this paper, we construct stationary classical solutions of the shallow water equation with vanishing Froude number $Fr$ in the so-called lake model. To this end we need to study solutions to the following semilinear elliptic problem [{cases} -varepsilon^2 ext{div}(frac{ abla u}{b})=b(u-qlogfrac{1}{varepsilon})_+^{p},& ext{in}; Omega, u=0, & ext{on};partial Omega, {cases} ] for small $varepsilon>0$, where $p>1$, $extdiv(fracablaqb)=0$ and $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^2$ is a smooth bounded domain,. We showed that if $frac{q}^{2}b$ has $m$ strictly local minimum(maximum) points $$, then there is a stationary classical solution approximating stationary $m$ points vortex solution of shallow water equations with vorticity $$. Moreover, strictly local minimum points of $frac{q}^{2}b$ on the boundary can also give vortex solutions for the shallow water equation. As a further study we construct vortex pair solutions as well. Existence and asymptotic behavior of single point non-vanishing vortex solutions were studied by S. De Valeriola and J. Van Schaftingen.
