The serenity of Lake Natron - and its flamingo population - are threatened by a proposed hydroelectric power plant on the Ewaso Ngiro River, the main river feeding the lake. As shallow lakes in a hot climate, their water temperatures can reach as high as 106 degrees Fahrenheit (41 degrees Celsius). The lake is quite shallow less than five meters and the width depends on the water content. The lake is typically red to pink in colour with a scarlet crust due to high mineral content and hot springs. Made from commodity materials including aluminum, iron, manganese, and sodium-ions (68 of the earth’s surface is covered with salt water) Natron’s cells, modules, and battery represent a responsible alternative to lead. Natron’s cells do not rely on rare earth materials like cobalt nor do they have a long, questionable supply chain like lithium. derived from salt lakes, would account for the high soda con. Both are terminal lakes that do not drain out to any river or sea they are fed by hot springs and small rivers. Lake Natron has been acknowledged as the hell on Earth by many ecologists due to its deadly nature. Sodium-ion batteries take advantage of standard lithium-ion pouch cell production lines while benefiting from a more sustainable chemistry. accepted that natron was the alkali used for Roman glass pro- duction and that Wadi Natrun. Lake Natron is one of two alkaline lakes in that area of East Africa the other is Lake Bahi. The flamingos' nests are built on small islands that form in the lake during the dry season. During breeding season, more than 2 million lesser flamingos ( Phoenicopterus minor) use the shallow lake as their primary breeding ground in Africa. The lake is a thrilling phenomenon of its own, with caustic waters enclosed by a crust of sodden grey volcanic ash and desiccated salt, surrounded by reed-lined.
