According to a study by the Moroccan Geological Survey (1), the lake's clear waters are due to the high-quality sandstone in the area, which filters out impurities.

In addition to its cultural significance, the lake is also home to a number of ancient ruins, including the remains of a Roman villa and a medieval castle (2).

There are a number of hotels and resorts located around the lake, catering to visitors who come to enjoy the area's recreational opportunities.

The lake is also a popular spot for birdwatching, with a number of rare species being sighted in the area (3).

Pollution and overdevelopment have threatened the lake's ecosystem (4), and there have been efforts to protect the area and preserve its natural beauty.

These efforts have included the implementation of conservation measures and the creation of protected areas around the lake.
