http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=turlough ...

A temporary lake, especially in Ireland.

Flat-bottomed sinkholes in limestone areas, in particular in that barren limestone pavement landscape in western Ireland called the Burren, can become flooded in wet weather as underground systems fill up and the water table rises. The resulting lakes, turloughs, can appear quite quickly after a spell of wet weather, vanishing again within a few days of the rain stopping. Some lakes are seasonal, water-filled in winter but reliably dry enough in summer to be used for pasture

  -> grazie Gina
neutral  Cristina Bufi Poecksteiner, M.A.: Contemporaneous answer... Being a title, I put it in plural, "laghi stagionali", leaving "turloughs" in brackets. See: "a series of seasonal lakes ( turloughs)", in original link http://www.coolepark.ie/nature/index.html

  -> Sì, forse al plurale è meglio. La domanda però si riferiva al termine al singolare, poi chi traduce adatta al testo.
agree  Silvia Nigretto: Grazie Bruna! Che cara che sei stata! Complimenti anche a te!!!

laghi stagionali ("turloughs")


Explanation:
"The Waters Of Coole
Coole Park is part of the Coole-Garryland Complex Special Area of Conservation (site code SAC 252), which is situated in a low-lying karstic limestone area west of Gort, County Galway. It contains a series of **seasonal lakes ( turloughs)**, which are fed by springs and a partly submerged river, surrounded by woodland, pasture and limestone heath. The more well-known turloughs present in the site include Lydacan, Crannagh North, Raheen, Crannagh South, Coole, Garryland, Newtown and Hawkhill."
