Lake Enriquillo
Lake Enriquillo ((スペイン語:Lago Enriquillo)) is a hypersaline lake in the Dominican Republic located in the southwestern region of the country. Its waters are shared between the provinces of Bahoruco and Independencia, the latter of which borders Haiti. Lake Enriquillo is the largest lake〔 and the lowest elevation in the Caribbean.
==Hydrology==
Lake Enriquillo covers an area of 145 mi2 (375 km2),〔 and is the lowest point in the Caribbean, falling 148 feet (45 m) below sea level.〔 Its drainage basin includes 10 minor river systems. The rivers that rise in the Neiba Mountains to the north (lower center and lower right of the image) are perennial. Those rivers that rise in the Baoruco Mountains to the south are intermittent. Lake Enriquillo has no outlet. The lake's water level varies because of a combination of storm-driven precipitation events and the region's high evaporation rate. Salinity in the lake can vary between 33 ppt (comparable to seawater) and over 100 ppt (hypersaline).
The region has a hot, semiarid climate. Annual rainfall is not evenly distributed, with peak precipitation occurring in May and October. The dry season is December through April when rainfall may be less than . Due to the length of the lake, annual rainfall averages also vary at the eastern and western ends: on the northwest shore, and in the southeast.〔
