Description
"The water levels of this lake have decreased by about 3 meters compared to what it used to be in the past," says Jabbar Abdul Hussein. Fishermen like Abdul Hussein have seen the quantity and variety of fish in Karbala's Razzaza lake dwindle in recent years due to severe droughts and shortages of water: "In the past, the lake contained the finest types of fish, such as Gattan and Bunni," he adds.
