After Qarun Lake was a vital source of fishing, tourism and agriculture, it now suffered from high salinity and pollution caused by agricultural, industrial and domestic irregularities.

The deterioration of the lake affected tourism due to unpleasant odors and the decrease in biodiversity, which limited ecotourism, the attractiveness of the lake and the misuse of natural resources to exacerbate the state of the lake.
