The objective of this paper is twofold. First, we show the existence of global classical solutions to the degenerate inviscid lake equations. This result is achieved after revising the elliptic regularity for a degenerate equation on the associated stream-function, and adapting the method used for construction of classical solutions to the incompressible Euler equations. Second, we show that the weak solutions of the viscous lake equations converge to classical solutions of the inviscid lake equations when the viscosity coefficient goes to zero, which constitutes an important physical validation of these models. The later result is achieved by the use of energy method as in the proofs of Kato-type theorems. This method also allows us to expose a convergence rate.
