The area of some lakes fluctuates substantially. For those lakes partially in Canada or Mexico the area given for the lake is the total area, not just the part of the lake in the United States.

The Great Basin's longest and largest river is the Bear River of 350 mi (560 km), [10] and the largest single watershed is the Humboldt River drainage of roughly 17,000 sq mi (44,000 km 2). Most Great Basin precipitation is snow, and the precipitation that neither evaporates nor is extracted for human use will sink into groundwater aquifers ...
