	Endorheic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In geography, an endorheic basin is a watershed from which there is no outflow of water (either on the surface as rivers, or underground by flow or diffusion through rock or permeable material).
		Lake Chad (between Chad and Cameroon), fed by the Chari and Logon rivers.
		One of the few endorheic lakes in cold desert locations, Antarctica's Lake Vida remains liquid because its salinity is seven times that of seawater.

		In physical geography, endorheic lakes are lakes that have no outflow to the sea or ocean.
		Endorheic lakes, which generally lie in endorheic basins, are usually found in hot desert areas where the net inflow is low (due to low rainfall) and loss to solar evaporation high.
		In many cases the rivers that feed the lakes are highly seasonal, causing the water level to change dramatically over the course of a year.

		The only animals that live in the lake are tiny brine shrimp, the eggs of which are harvested in quantity.
		Since the Great Salt Lake is a shallow lake with gently sloping shores around all edges except on the south side, small variations in the water level can greatly affect the extent of the shoreline.
		In response, the state built pumps on the western side of the lake to pump dangerously high water out into the west desert, but as of 2004 these pumps are dry and miles away from the lake's shore.

	Freshwater Fishes of Iran, Introduction - Drainage Basins - Lake Orumiyeh
		The lake has a surface area of 4750-6100 sq km, a volume of 29.4 cu km, a mean depth of 4.9-6.0 m, a maximum depth of 16 m, and a temperature range of -1.3-27.5°C. Lake level can rise as much as 2 m in one season, as it did in the winter of 1968-1969.
		The endorheic lake is shallow with a maximum depth of 1.5 m and a mud bottom.
		Lake Orumiyeh is the largest natural habitat for brine shrimp in the world and, since 2000, is has been harvested, processed and used to feed sturgeon in hatcheries (www.worldfishingcompanies.com/html/us/world.report.html?id=1, downloaded 23 October 2001).

		Salt Lake City and its suburbs are on the eastern shore of the lake.
		As all three rivers feeding the lake flow into the southern half, the northern half of the lake is now noticeably saltier than the south half.
		The lake is difficult to approach, being fringed by mud flats, but from time to time a resort called Saltair has operated on the southern shore of the lake.

	Endorheic Lakes: Waterbodies That Don't Flow to the Sea
		Lakes in endorheic watersheds are often called “terminal ” or sink lakes.
		Endorheic water-bodies exist in belts between the northern and southern margins of desert zones in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.
		Although endorheic water-bodies usually contain water of lower quality than that of water- bodies draining to the oceans, they often are of great importance to their watershed inhabitants.

	Lake Vida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lake Vida is an ice-covered super-concentrated saltwater endorheic lake located in Victoria Valley, one of the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica.
		The lake, one of the largest in the dry valleys, remains liquid because it is seven times saltier than sea water.
		Researchers discovered the lake, along with 2,800-year-old microorganisms, under nineteen metres of ice.

		It was first mapped in 1844 by John C. Fremont, the American discoverer of the lake.

	Climate Change 2001: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability
		Endorheic lakes are very dependent on the balance of inflows and evaporation and are very sensitive to change in either (whether driven by climate change, climatic variability, or human interventions).
		Small endorheic lakes are most vulnerable to a change in climate; there are indications that even relatively small changes in inputs can produce large fluctuations in water level (and salinity) in small closed lakes in western North America (Laird et al., 1996).
		Progressive southward expansion of Lake Winnipeg under postglacial isostatic tilting was suppressed by a warm dry climate in the mid-Holocene, when the north basin of the lake became closed (endorheic) and the south basin was dry (Lewis et al., 1998).

		The lake is deepest in the area between these island chains, about 10.7 m (~35 ft) deep at the 1,280 m (~4,200 ft) level.
		North of the causeway, the lake is dominated by halophilic bacteria which gives the water an unusual reddish or purplish color.
		Populations of brine shrimp are mostly restricted to the lake's south arm.
