Laguna de Fuente de Piedra

Description

Laguna de Fuente de Piedra, is a shallow saline lake (0.7 m mean depth). The basin has evolved by dissolution-induced subsidence in relation to the local lithology, which is mainly composed of evaporitic formations. As an endorheic basin with low water depth this setting is hydro-sensitive and is supposed to show quick responses to variability in the water balance.
