The area drained into this lake is about 26 square miles, and the annual rainfall about 32 inches (2.6667 feet)

Hence [Calculations]

Daily fall of rain upon the 26 miles 5,295,600 cubic feet.

This would indicate that 363 ft/ 4 pr cent of the rain is carried off through the outlet of the lake. This unusually large proportion may be owing to the loose gravelly nature of the soil. which readily absorbs the rain water & supplies the numerous copious springs on the margin of the lake.
