Lake Suguta information


The basin of Lake Suguta viewed from space

2°00′N 36°30′E / 2.000°N 36.500°E / 2.000; 36.500[1] Lake Suguta is a former lake in Africa. It formed in the Suguta Valley, which is part of the East African Rift, south of Lake Turkana during the Holocene African humid period.

The lake existed a number of times during history, most recently during the early and middle Holocene when a stronger monsoon caused increased precipitation in the basin of the lake. The lake then reached a top elevation of 577 metres (1,893 ft) above sea level, when it overflowed into the Kerio River and then into Lake Turkana. The lake possibly ultimately drained into the Nile.

Between 8,000 and 5,000 years ago the lake progressively dried up; today only the small Lake Logipi occupies the area.
