The rock formations are called "tufa' formations, made of calcium carbonate (limestone), formed when the calcium-rich waters of springs react with the highly alkaline water of the lake. The lake is also very salty. Originally it was about 1.5 times saltier than the ocean, but due to diversion of water from the creeks flowing into the lake by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, in recent years its salinity has ranged from 2.5 to 3 times saltier than the ocean. The lake supports millions of migrating and nesting birds each year, which feed on its billions of harmless alkali flies and trillions of brine shrimp.
