Clear Lake Dam and the Lost River spilling below. Clear Lake was a natural lake but the size was enlarged considerably by construction of the dam. One of the original purposes of the dam was to cause more evaporation of water to prevent inundation in the Tule Basin and allow more farming. Photo courtesy of Mark Buttner, Bureau of Reclamation.
