Title : Sierra Nevada Mountains and Mono Lake, California, U.S.A. April 1994
Caption :
The snow-covered central Sierra Nevada Mountains are featured in this low-oblique, west-looking photograph. Spring-fed, saline Mono Lake is visible near the lower right. Abundant snowmelt in the spring and early summer is important for filling rivers, lakes, and reservoirs that provide the state’s drinking and agricultural water supplies. Runoffs east of the range provide irrigation for small agriculture tracts in the western portions of Nevada.
