Like every oasis, this place is among the barren desert sands.

In accordance with measurements of scientists in the mid-20th century Crescent Lake average depth was about 5 meters, with regard to the level of the deepest, it was 7, 5 meters. Since then, much water has flowed, and in the literal and figurative sense of the expression.
