The lake is natural, but today is highly controlled by dams. An initial dam was built in 1916 to prevent saltwater inflow. Currently, water level is regulated by the Richard-Toll dam on the north and Keur Momar Sarr's Dike on the south. The upland vegetation is Sahelian savanna with Acacia raddiana, A. seyal, A. senegal, Balanites aegyptiaca, species of the Capparidaceae, Combretaceae, and Poaceae. Shoreline floodplain vegetation includes Tamarix senegalensis, Typha australis, Jussiaea repens, Phragmites vulgaris, Pycreus mudtii, Vetiveria nigritana. Nymphaea lotus and Pistia stratiotes grow in oopen water. | Lezine, A.M., 1987.

Located approximately 3 km upstream from the key Velorenvlei coring site at Grootdrift, the Klaarfontein Springs are located in an inconspicuous valley alcove among the rolling hills on the northeastern shore of Verlorenvlei. The principal spring feeds a small perennial stream and marsh system that drains perpendicularly to the Verlorenvlei River. Somewhat below the elevation of the main road to Elands Bay, three supplementary springs breach the surface and contribute to the boggy colluvial-alluvial marsh that protrudes towards an indistinct junction with the Verlorenvlei River. The lobe-shaped marsh remains perched above the river and is mantled by reeds and sedges including: Typha latifolia, Juncus kraussii, Cyperus fastigiatus, Cyperus marginatus and Scirpus fluvitans, while Phragmites australis occupies the deeper standing water along the vlei transition itself at the southern end of the site. | Baxter, A.J., 1997.

Common tree species are Bridelia ferrugain, Hymenocardia acida, and Annana arenaria. Forest of Millelia laurentii, Pentaclethra eetveldeana and Parinari excelsa occupy the bottom of the valleys, swamps, and river borders. The center of the depression is occupied by hydromorphic forest of Syzygium with rafts of Poaceae and Cyperaceae. | Elenga, H., 1992. Vegetation et climat du Congo depuis 24 000 ans B.
