Depth profiles of deuterium composition, expressed as delta-values, have been used to make point estimates of evaporation from the floor of the normally “dry” Lake Frome, a salt lake in northern South Australia. Values from five sites, varying between 90 and 230 mm yr.−1, have been used to obtain a relatively crude approximation for mean evaporation rate from the lake of 170 mm yr.−1. Under the assumption that this represents discharge of water from the regional groundwater system, the groundwater inflow into the lake is calculated as ∼ 5 × 108m3yr.−1. Two possible models which describe groundwater inflow into the lake are discussed.
