These stats about the lake are mind boggling:
If you were to pour Lake Tahoe out onto an area the size of California, the water would still be 14 inches (36 cm) deep.
The amount of water in Lake Tahoe (39 trillion gallons) is enough to supply each person in the U.S. with 50 gallons of water per day for 5 years.
The amount of water that evaporates from the Lake each day (330 million gallons) could supply a city the size of Los Angeles for 5 years.
