Razzaza Lake
Iraq’s Razzaza Lake was once a tourist attraction known for its beautiful scenery and an abundance of fish that locals depended on.
Now, dead fish litter its shores and the once-fertile lands around it have turned into a barren desert.
Razzaza Lake, also known as Lake Milh, Arabic for Salt Lake, is located in Iraq.
It is the second-largest lake in Iraq and is part of a wide valley that includes the lakes of Habbaniyah, Tharthar and Bahr al-Najaf.
The lake was constructed as a measure to control floods in the Euphrates and to be used as a huge reservoir for irrigation purposes.
