The lake is located two kilometers far from the right bank of the Kura river. The lake periodically dries up.[2] It lies at a height of 7 meters[3] below sea level.[4] The surface of the basin area of the lake is 12 km2 or 15 km2.[5] Dimensions - 8 by 4 km, according to other sources 1.7 by 1.3 km. The maximum depth is 1.5 m, while on 85% of the lake area, the depth is 0.5 - 0.7 m.
During the drying up of Aggol in 1943, the strongest specimens of nutria that lived in the lake, settled in Mehman lake.[6]
The lake is inhabited by 34 species of plankton. There are populations of pike, carp, bream, and pike perch.
In May–June 1954, the expedition of K. Gambarov observed a mixed nesting colony, with white-tailed lapwing rare for Azerbaijan.[7] Although the expedition did not identify bird nests, observations suggested that the white-tailed lapwing is likely to nest here. In the colony, in addition to these birds, were also common terns, black terns, barnacle terns, black-headed gulls, prairie beetles, and stilt.[8]
