A pluvial lake is a body of water that accumulated in a basin because of a greater moisture availability resulting from changes in temperature and/or precipitation.
Pluvial lake
Several pluvial lakes formed in what is now the southwestern United States during the glaciation of the late Pleistocene. One of these was Lake Bonneville in western Utah, which covered roughly 19,000 square miles (49,000 km2). When Lake Bonneville was at its maximum water level, it was 1,000 feet (300 m) higher than the Great Salt Lake.
Pluvial lake
Fresh water mollusks have been found in mud deposits from Searles Lake in California and suggest that the water temperature was about 7 degrees Fahrenheit (or 4 degrees Celsius) cooler than current temperatures. Radiocarbon dating of the youngest mud beds yield dates from 24,000 to 12,000 years ago.

Several pluvial lakes formed in what is now the southwestern United States, specifically in Utah and California, during the last Ice Age. One of these was Lake Bonneville in western Utah, which covered roughly 19,000 square miles and when it reached maximum water level, it was 1,000 feet higher than the Great Salt Lake.
