During the late 2000s, the Lake Enriquillo has increased its surface area dramatically. Records for 2004 show the lake to be 164 square kilometers; measurements from 2011 put the area at 350 km². This rise in level has affected hundres of nearby residents in townships that bordered the lake, with abundant loss of agricultural land which, even if the waters recede, will probably be rendered useless due to the lake's salinity damaging the qualities of the once-arable soil.[2]
Reasons for the flooding are being debated on, but must be a combination of several including increase in rainfall in the region in recent years, increase of sediments going into the lake from run-off due to deforestation that are contributing to raising the lakebed, and milder temperatures which are reducing the surface evaporation rate
