In terms of economics, the lake is a fundamental component of the local communities' income, facilitating activities such as fishing, agriculture, and animal husbandry.

It has been observed to exhibit occurrences of invasive green algae, which have significantly curtailed fishing operations and had a notable impact on the lake's water quality.

This phenomenon of excessive algal growth is largely attributed to the presence of pollutants, specifically those derived from agricultural sources, which introduce heightened levels of nitrogen and phosphorus into the aquatic ecosystem.

Both local governments and national entities have launched initiatives to advocate for sustainable fishing methods and control the spread of invasive species.
