This fact, coupled with the lake basin's high rates of evaporation and water infiltration into surrounding sands have resulted in a significant reduction in wildlife utilization of this formerly large and productive marsh. Ducks Unlimited (Canada) proposes to create a more permanent wetland within Crane Lake by confining the remainder of available water within a smaller, circular area and thereby restoring some of the former wildlife value to the lake basin (Figure 2).
