	Walker Lake (Nevada) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The lake is fed from the north by the Walker River and has no natural outlet except absorption and evaporation.
		The lakebed is a remnant of prehistoric Lake Lahontan that covered much of northwestern Nevada during the ice age.
		Unlike Pyramid Lake, the lake itself has dried up several times since the end of the Pleistocene, probably due to natural diversions of the Walker River into the Carson Sink.

		Lahontan chronology is vital to an interpretation of archaeological and paleontological contexts in the western Great Basin, due to the rapidly changing environments throughout the Terminal Pleistocene and Early Holocene.
		Lake recessions and transgressions during the early human occupation period in the Great Basin were particularly important because of growing evidence of a severe drought during Clovis times.
		The close agreement of the evidence for the Lahontan Crash with the onset of the dry Bølling at 12,600 RCYBP is compelling evidence of continental climatic correlation.

	Welcome to Adobe GoLive 4
		Lake Lahontan is a pluvial lake that formed within the western portion of the Great Basin,occupying the majority of northwestern Nevada during the middle to late Pleistocene.
		Lake Lahontan was the second largest pluvial lake in the northern hemisphere, covering approximately 21,000 km² during its period of high water level.
		Precipitation in the Lake Lahontan region today is thought to be about one tenth of what it was in the Pleistocene, and evapotranspiration is now much greater, therefore creating an inverse relationship between the two time periods.

		Lake Lahontan was a large lake that existed in western Nevada and eastern California during the last two thirds of the Pleistocene Epoch.
		Though the lake is special as the last refuge of the cui-ui, Anaho Island within the lake is also a special habitat.
		Presently, efforts are underway to attempt to preserve Pyramid Lake and its surroundings in the hopes that the lake doesn't follow in the footsteps of its old neighbor, Lake Winnemucca.

	Walker Lake - Hawthorne, Nevada - History
		Born in the Sierra Nevada, Walker Lake is the terminus for the Walker River watershed - a watery gem amid the arid land.
		Along with Pyramid Lake in northwest Nevada and Mono Lake in eastern California, Walker is a remnant of the Pleistocene Lake Lahontan, which covered much of central and northern Nevada during the last Ice Age.
		At that time, flows to Walker Lake are estimated at 250,000 to 300,000 acre-feet of water per year (an acre-foot is approximately 326,000 gallons of water, enough to cover a football field in one-foot of water).

	LAKE LEVELS AND SEDIMENTARY ENVIRONMENTS DURING DEPOSITION OF THE WONO AND TREGO HOT SPRINGS TEPHRAS IN THE LAKE ...
		As an example, Davis (1983) defined lake level to be between 1256 and 1260 m during deposition of the Trego Hot Springs bed (THS; 23,200 +/- 300 14C yr B.P.), based on exposures of the tephra in a deltaic complex along Squaw Creek.
		A lake at this elevation in the western subbasins of Lahontan would cover approximately 6500 km2 and have a volume of about 360 km3.
		Outcrops of the Wono bed in deltaic deposits and lacustrine sands, however, indicate that Lahontan was at an elevation of at least 1215 m at that time in the western subbasins, indicating a much larger lake than inferred by Benson et al.
