The field covers more than 35,000 hectares. Occasionally, rain turns it into a salt lake. The salt factory established near this place uses this salt to produce edible salt. Vegetation in area is very poor because of high temperature evaporation and poor soil.

This area is polluted and damaged because of the waste and garbage of the nearby iron factory.^[2][3][4]
