		The lake feeding is realised in extent of 84 % by inflowing rivers (7 % of which is ground water) and 16 % by precipitation falling onto the lake surface.
		Kajak (1964) studied the geology and geomorphology of the depression of Lake Peipsi and suggested that the deepest parts of the depression is formed already in Narva age (Devonian).
		At the beginning of the Pre-Boreal, a shallow lake existed in the northern part of Lake Peipsi, in which either silts or fine grained sands deposited; exact water level is not known, but in the mouth of the Optjok River it must have been considerably lower than today (Miidel and Raukas, 1997).

		The magnitude of the glacial erosion in the central part of the lake is estimated at 50-60 m based on the altitude difference between the bedrock surface in the lake and in the surrounding areas.

		Seismic reflection profiling in the western part of Lake Peipsi, eastern Estonia, revealed two major units in the sedimentary bedrock, namely Devonian terrigenous rocks on top of Ordovician carbonate rocks.
		Gently sloping depressions and elevations were distinguished at the bedrock surface, which dips towards the center of the lake.
		The magnitude of the glacial erosion in the central part of the depression, as related to the altitude of the bedrock surface in the surrounding onshore areas, is estimated to at least 50-60 m.

		There's a large lake, lake Peipsi, along the border between Estonia and Russia.
		I was told that when Estonia became independent, they decided to try to manage the lake ecosystem so that it would favor fish species such as salmon and brown trout; large, predatory species that have high prize and are popular among recreational fishermen as well.
		The Russians, however, had an industry that canned one of the major small, pelagic fish species of the lake, the smelt, so naturally they wanted the sprat populations to be high.
