  abstract = {{L}ake {I}hotry is a closed lake where evaporation constitute 99% of water outputs, and where the seasonal isotopic evaporative enrichment is important (from delta {O}-18=-3 parts per thousand to +6 parts per thousand and from delta {H}-2=-20 parts per thousand to +30 parts per thousand). {F}or a two-year measurement period, a dynamic model of lake water level leads to an accurate determination of the water balance at a daily time step. {A}n isotopic balance model (6180 and 62 {H}), including the {C}raig and {G}ordon evaporation model, has been coupled with the water balance model in order to simulate the evolution of the lake water isotopic composition. {W}e propose that the moisture buildup over the lake surface affects the isotopic balance during the seasonal isotopic enrichment. {A} mixture between a vapour in isotopic equilibrium with rainfall (75%) and the locally evaporated moisture (25%) provides a good simulation of the lake water isotopic composition.
