Solution

The water pressure at the bottom of a lake depends on the depth of the lake. The weight of the water and the surface area of the lake do not affect the pressure at the bottom. The pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the water above pushing down on the water below. This is why pressure at the bottom of a lake or ocean, or in a deep swimming pool, is higher than at the surface.
