Renquist Basin is another of the _Rainwater Basins_ in Nebraska. I interpret the basin to be the assemblage of two bayWest archetype planforms. They make a good fit, as visualized in the LiDAR. The "wet" area of the basin is located where the two planforms overlap. The overlap/juxtaposition of bay planforms to comprise a single landform is also seen in many of the eastern Carolina Bays. This suggest that whatever mechanism formed the basins, it supported a repeatable "assembly" process.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has produced a 121 page brochure titled Birds of the Rainwater Basins , which can be downloads as a PDF from this LINK.

The open bodies of water found within many of the Rainwater Basins lakes - prized for their ability to attract and nurture wildfowl - are being artificially recharged by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). On a regular basis they pump water from wells into the wetlands for the duck hunting season. Renquist Basin is among those pumped in the fall of 2012.
