	Bitter Lake: A little lake hidden by urban homes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Though many consider Bitter Lake part of the larger community of Broadview, residents say their neighborhood has an identity and flavor all its own, defined by the lake itself.
		It acquired its name from the bitter taste of tannic acid left from the days in the early part of the century when logs filled the water and the west shore of the lake was home to a sawmill.
		It cost 17 cents to take the Interurban from Seattle to Bitter Lake, and at the end of the trolley ride was an attraction inhabited by jolly concessionaires, a merry-go-round, water slide, a haunted house and a big-dipper roller coaster.

		The outlet elevation between the upstream lakes (Hillebrands Lake, Rush Lake, Spring Lake, Swan Pond, and Waubay Lake) and Bitter Lake was changed from an elevation of 1,803.6 feet to 1,798.69 feet to reflect the modified outlet between Rush and Bitter Lakes.
		The unconditional frequency analysis was performed for Bitter, Enemy Swim, Pickerel, and Waubay Lakes using 10,000 years of generated lake levels with the farm crossings removed at the outlet between Rush and Bitter Lakes.
		Bitter Lake exceeded an elevation of 1,814.0 ft, which is high enough to result in large flows to the Big Sioux River, an average of once every 2,500 years and stayed above this elevation an average of 5 years before subsiding.

		In response to significant increases in lake levels in northeastern South Dakota during the 1990s, a water mass-balance model and a stochastic time-series model were used to perform a lake-level frequency analysis for the Waubay Lakes Chain.
		The lake levels for the 1-percent exceedance probabilities (unconditional analysis) are about 19 ft higher for Bitter Lake, 1.2 ft higher for Enemy Swim Lake, 0.7 ft higher for Pickerel Lake, and 8.6 ft higher for Waubay Lake than the levels of those lakes on April 4, 1999.
		However, the average return periods for Bitter and Waubay Lakes for the 0.2-percent exceedance probabilities (unconditional analysis) are 2,000 years, indicating the extreme high lake levels of the larger downstream lakes probably are caused by extreme climatic conditions lasting several years.

		The generally low lake levels that have occurred since white settlement but before the recent flooding, in addition to the post-1930s pattern of steadily increasing water availability and favorableness for tree growth, are not typical of the long-term record.
		The outlet from Bitter Lake, the terminal lake in the Waubay Lake system, appears not to have functioned since the start of the Holocene.
		The extreme nature of the flooding in the 1990s may have been caused, or at least worsened, compared to pre-settlement conditions, by past wetland drainage, greater runoff from agricultural lands in the basin, and by the blocking or slowing of flow by hundreds of miles of roadbeds.

		Thanks to Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge, thousands of migratory waterfowl make Roswell their home during the frigid winter months — providing residents with, arguably, some of the most impressive sights and sounds in nature.
		For the first 40 years of its existence, Magera said Bitter Lake was seen by residents as a spot to recreate and very little else — an attitude encouraged by the refuge’s employees.
		That’s when Bitter Lake completed its transition from recreation area to wildlife refuge — protecting not only the migratory waterfowl but also the Pecos pupfish, the greenthroat darter, the mosquito fish, the endangered Pecos gambusia, Roswell spring snails and Noel’s amphipods.
