The water has a pH that is neutral to somewhat alkaline and its transparency is quite low. [9] Because of the large seasonal variations in the inflow of its tributaries, rain and evaporation, the water levels of Lake Tana typically vary by 2–2.5 m (6.6–8.2 ft) in a year, peaking in September–October just after the main wet season.
The Afar people have established a settlement near the lake's shore. Lake Abbe is known for its limestone chimneys, which reach heights of 50 m (160 ft) and from which steam spews forth. [6] These carbonate chimneys are formed by the mixing of lake water and a deeper geothermal fluid. [7] [8] Flamingos can also be found on the waters. [9]
