El Karaane / Lagoon of Khnifiss

Western Sahara / al-Ayun /

Laguna Naila with "Guelta El Aouina"

"The lagoon communicates with the Atlantic through Foum Aguitar(Agoutir), a narrow sound. High tide is rather persistent on the northern side of the Tazra Depression (Sebkha). There is hardly any fresh water in the lagoon, although there is a significant concentration at "Guelta El Aouina". The lagoon is fed by precipitation, frequently falling in storms, and by underground and surface flows from Oued Aouedri."(Go-South Bull. (2009), 6, 27-32)
