Lake Teli is the largest of the lakes in the Ounianga Serir in the Ennedi-Ouest region in the northeast basin of Chad .
description
Ounianga lakes are notable for their north-south headlands that are formed by the trade winds . They are the remainder of a much larger lake that made up this basin during what is known as the Green Sahara Period , which ran from around 10,000 to 1500 BC. Lasted, filled.
Hydrogeology
Lake Teli is a salt lake and is characterized by a complex underground exchange process with the other lakes in Ounianga . This mechanism enables the existence of lakes other than freshwater lakes under the prevailing extreme environmental conditions.
