Mild local climate change is expected in the direct surroundings following the creation of the lake, such as an increase in fogs, less dustiness and temperature stabilization.

The water quality is one of the key criteria, which is monitored and will be helpful for projection of the hydric recultivation in another region.

The lake is partly used for recreational purposes – for bathing, swimming, sailing, cycling, roller skating, jogging, horse riding etc.

Cycling path with marking 3009 was opened in 2006 and it goes through the territory of outside dump of the mine with line up to Habří and Řehlovice.

In July 2022 this lake was used to take water with two Canadair aircraft for aerial firefighting at Bohemian Switzerland National Park.
