An aerial view shows salt mounds emerging from Lake Najaf or Bahr Al-Najaf (Najaf Sea), an inland lake in southern Iraq, some 10 kilometers southwest of the Iraqi city of Najaf on November 22, 2025. Known as the Najaf Sea, the inland lake has lost more than 10,000 acres of its surface water according to local enviromentalists. The waters, once one of the most important water resources in central Iraq, is deteriorating reflecting a broader pattern of water scarcity driven by upstream damming, climate change, and reduced rainfall.
