Lake Shala, in the East African Rift Valley. A soda lake or alkaline lake is a lake on the strongly alkaline side of neutrality, typically with a pH value between 9 and 12. They are characterized by high concentrations of carbonate salts, typically sodium carbonate (and related salt complexes), giving rise to their alkalinity.
Despite the nomenclature, the direction of water flow is not from north to south. Middle Alkali Lake is actually the highest at 4,478 ft (1,365 m) above sea level. [2] Water will either flow south to Lower Alkali Lake at 4,472 ft (1,363 m), [3] or north to Upper Alkali Lake at 4,449 ft (1,356 m). [1]
Water levels in the basins rise and fall seasonally. Rainfall on the Carrizo Plain is only about 20 cm (7.9 in) in an average year but is higher on the surrounding mountains. Following exceptionally wet winters, typically El Niño years, the large northern and southern basins do not evaporate completely, although the water retreats toward the ...
An alkali sink is a salty basin land form. In these depressions, which are found only in the San Joaquin Valley, California, rainwater drains to the basin and collects in areas where it cannot penetrate the soil due to a hard layer of clay or caliche, producing a pond or lake.
