Lake Pichola is situated in Udaipur city in the Indian state of Rajasthan.
It is an artificial freshwater lake, named after the nearby Picholi village.
It is one of the several contiguous lakes and developed over the last few centuries.
The lakes around Udaipur were primarily created by building dams to meet the drinking water
and irrigation needs of the city.
The water quality of the lake has a high sodium and Bicarbonate content, which is attributed
to the continental weathering due to anthropogenic pressure.
Laguna Colorada is a shallow salt lake in the southwest of the altiplano of Bolivia,
within Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve and close to the border with Chile.
The lake contains borax islands, whose white color contrasts with the reddish color of
its waters, which is caused by red sediments and pigmentation of some algae.
Red algae give the shallow saltwater its distinct rusty hue, which is broken up every so often
by white pools made up of borax deposits that sit on the surface.
