Kalamalka Lake (aka "Kal Lake") is a large lake in the Interior Plateau of southern central British Columbia, Canada, east of Okanagan Lake and approximately south of Vernon. The lake is named for the Okanagan (''Okanogan'' U.S. spelling) Indian chief who occupied its northern shores. At different times of the year the colour of the lake can range from cyan to indigo, in different spots at the same time. The colour of the water is derived from light scattering, caused by the precipitation of calcite (CaCO3). ==Hydrology== Kalamalka Lake is a glacial lake. The main inflow to Kalamalka Lake is from Wood Lake that is located to the south and connected by a canal at Oyama. The lake is drained by Vernon Creek〔http://www.obwb.ca/fileadmin/docs/okanagan_basin_map.pdf〕 which exits at the north end of the lake and passes through the city of Vernon and flows into the Okanagan Lake. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kalamalka Lake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
