The lake's high altitude, great depth, slow rate of refill and mountainous location in a turbulently volcanic area that has undergone changing climate have all given the lake a complex history of changing flow patterns, with its outflow to the sea apparently historically unusual: it has been described as ' practically endorheic ' for this reason.

For example, a database that describes lakes may contain a lake's depth, water quality, pollution level.

The lake's maximum depth is, making it the deepest lake in Iowa and second in size only to Spirit Lake.

The lake's great depth and purity causes it to absorb all colors of visible light except blue, resulting in its characteristic indigo hue.

Lava flows may build up over time, reducing the lake's depth, and may eventually divide it into more than one body of water ( this happened to the Newberry Caldera ).

Stansbury, Carrington, and Hat Islands are extensions of the Stansbury mountain range, and Strongs Knob is an extension of the Lakeside Mountains which run along the lake's western shore.

The salinity of the lake's main basin, Gilbert Bay, is highly variable and depends on the lake's level ; it ranges from 5 to 27 % ( 50 to 270 parts per thousand ).

In the two bays that receive most of the lake's fresh water inflows, Bear River Bay and Farmington Bay, the diversity of organisms is much higher.

The lake's north arm contains deposits of oil, but it is of poor quality and it is not economically feasible to extract and purify it.

Over half of the lake's area is taken up by its many small islands ( including Bogomerom archipelago ), reedbeds and mud banks, and a belt of swampland across the middle divides the northern and southern halves while the shorelines are largely composed of marshes.

The United Nations Environment Programme and the Lake Chad Basin Commission concur that at least half of the lake's decrease is attributable to shifting climate patterns.

Along with the conflicts that involve the countries, violence is increasing among the lake's dwellers.

The lake's water is purified and fed into Zurich's water system ; it is potable.

The heavy snow totals across the county can be attributed to the lake-effect, where precipitation is intensified by the warm waters of the Great Salt Lake, which never entirely freezes due to the lake's high salinity.

The largest stream flowing into this lake is the Kagera River, the mouth of which lies on the lake's western shore.

By 2006, the water levels in Lake Victoria had reached an 80-year low, and Daniel Kull, an independent hydrologist living in Nairobi, Kenya, calculated that Uganda was releasing about twice as much water as is allowed under the agreement, and was primarily responsible for recent drops in the lake's level.

Barren River Lake State Resort Park is located primarily within Barren County, along the lake's shoreline.

A standard for mimicking the old rate of outflow called the " agreed curve " was established, setting the maximum flow rate at 300 to 1, 700 cubic metres per second ( 392 – 2, 224 cu yd / sec ) depending on the lake's water level.

At long and 1, 809 tons Inca was the lake's largest ship thus far.

Seismic activity caused by the lake's volcanic foundation could thus cause the lake wall to give way, resulting in up to 50 million cubic metres ( 1. 8 billion cu ft ) of water flooding downhill into areas of the Northwest Province and the Nigerian states of Taraba and Benue.

Three islands can be found within the lake's 86, 410 square meters: Königsinsel (" King's Island ", 2, 720 m² ), Kurfürsteninsel (" Elector's Island ", 1, 260 m² ) and Regenteninsel (" Regent's Island ", 640 m² ).

Some 1 370 km < sup > 2 </ sup > or 58 % of the lake's waters lie within DRC borders.

The lake's outlet flows below the surface through the natural dam and emerges from the mountain as a creek 1 mile ( 1. 6 km ) away.

Improvements were also underway on the dam to allow it to withstand a 1, 000 year flood without the lake's level rising.

The lake's drainage basin has an area of about 1, 120 km².

The lake's annual balance is contributed by surface streams: 5. 72 million m < sup > 3 </ sup > ( 27 %), overland flows: 1. 11 million m < sup > 3 </ sup > ( 5 %), ground water sources: 10. 1 million m < sup > 3 </ sup > ( 48 %) and precipitation: 4. 11 million m < sup > 3 </ sup > ( 20 %).
