In the area where the Amatsyahu, Tzin, and Arava rivers flow into the Dead Sea. It is abundant with rich biological diversity. The southern part of the reservoir, Sodom Saltmarsh Lake (known as “Swan Lake”, even though no swans are there), is permanently flooded. Due to the permanent presence of water dense vegetation grows on the banks. The site attracts water birds and birds of prey, some nesting and some migratory, including Zarro-castanho, Marreco, felosa-ruidosa, Pernilongo, Abibe-esporado, Garça-pequena, beija-flor-da-palestina, Caimão-comum and Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis.
