Lake Sarisu

Sarısu, or “Yellow Water,” lies in the lowlands of the Kura and Aras, amid a broad landscape of shallow water and reeds. The lake is divided into stretches of open water with small islands and extensive reedbeds. In the past spring floods connected it with the Kura, whose changing waters shaped the surrounding wetlands. Ducks and other waterbirds gather here, finding feeding and nesting places among the reeds and shallows of the lowland plain.
