Lake Albina (Latin: Lacus Albinus) is the largest freshwater body of water in Hesperidesia, and is the source of the Fontus River.
Hydrology
Lake Albina receives 80 percent of its water from direct rainfall. Average evaporation on the lake is between 2.0 and 2.2 metres (6.6 and 7.2 ft) per year, almost double the precipitation of riparian areas. Lake Albina receives its water additionally from rivers, and thousands of small streams. Lake Albina is drained solely by the Fontus River on the lake's southwestern shore
Bathymetry
The lake is considered a shallow lake considering its large geographic area with a maximum depth of approximately 80 metres (260 ft) and an average depth of 40 metres (130 ft). A 2016 project digitized ten-thousand points and created the first true bathymetric map of the lake.[29] The deepest part of the lake is offset to the east of the lake near Bungussi and the lake is generally shallower in the west along the Blackhelm Confederate shoreline and the south along the Kwalawan shoreline.
