It is alternately called Lake Razazah ((アラビア語:بحيرة الرزازة)). Lake Milh is a depression into which excess water from the Lake Habbaniyah via the Euphrates River is diverted through a controlled escape channel or canal. The lake is listed as a wetland of international importance. The lake is rather shallow and water levels change with the seasons. Due to the salts and the changing water levels, this largest freshwater lake in Iraq has lost its important stock of fish species and only a few recreational areas exist around the lake.〔
