The lagoon, which covers 4,500 hectares , receives water from the Oued Drader and from the local water table . Its average depth is 1.5 metres. The area's annual rainfall (600–700 mm) results in winter floods that inundate the surrounding areas.
A Ramsar Convention site, the lagoon hosts 100 bird species and has been identified as a key site on the East Atlantic Flyway .[3] waders . Its permanent species include Asio capensis ruddy shelduck , common shelduck , gadwall , Eurasian wigeon , northern shoveler , marbled teal , greater flamingo , common coot , pied avocet , grey plover , and slender-billed curlew .[2]
