Al-Musk Lake

Al-Musk Lake is an artificial sewage lake east of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a city that lacks an underground sewage system.[1] The lake was established by the Municipality of Jeddah in the 1990s.[2] Over time, the lake reached dangerous levels, and in 2005, a concrete dam was erected to prevent spillover into the city.[3]
