Tlikakila River Basin Glaciers
| The Tlikakila River is located in Lake Clark National
Park and Preserve and drains an area of 1,610 square kilometers (622
square miles). Runoff from the Tlikakila River Basin accounts for
about one half of the total inflow to Lake Clark. Glaciers occupy
about one third of the basin and affect the runoff characteristics
of the Tlikakila River. As part of a cooperative study with the
National Park Service, glacier changes and runoff characteristics in
the Tlikakila River Basin were studied in water years 2001 and 2002.
