Sawa Lake

This lake is located west of Samawah in Muthanna Governorate. It is famous for the beauty of its nature, and history mentioned that it overflowed on the day of the birth of the Prophet Mohamed, peace and blessings be upon him. This lake is characterized by many other things, including the absence of a surface watercourse that feeds it, but rather depends on the springs and the water flowing from the cracks at the bottom. The water level in this lake is stable despite its existence for a long period of time, and the height of the lake is about five meters above ground level adjacent to it, and therefore it prevents from seeing the ground level except from very close distances.
