Most of the lakes in the region have not had water in the last 150 years..

There are some bigs hills in the way of letting it just fill up naturally, but it would be interesting to try and siphon fill it.
Wow that really is big!
Is all that below sea level?
How much water is in it now?
How did the birds know it was full/filling?
Is there any fresh underground water in that basin?
