Der See hat keinen Abfluss und bildet – ähnlich wie der in der Türkei liegende Vansee – einen riesigen Steppensee. An seinen Ufern finden sich häufig Salzablagerungen. In ihm befinden sich 102 Inseln.[1] Der See entwässert ein Gebiet von 51.000 km². Der größte Zulieferer ist der Zarrine-Rūd, der im Süden in den See mündet, gefolgt vom Aji Chay, der in den östlichen Teil mündet. Daneben gibt es noch 13 größere andere Zuflüsse und weitere Bäche. Durchschnittlich nimmt der See pro Jahr 6,9 km³ Wasser auf. Der See zählt zu den endorheischen Gewässern (mündet nicht in ein Meer). Durch Änderung des Miniklimas und Aufstauung der Zuflüsse sinkt der Wasserpegel in den letzten Jahrzehnten kontinuierlich.

In der Antike waren die klimatischen Verhältnisse gemäßigter als heute. Der See, der in den assyrischen Quellen, wie auch der Vansee „Meer von Nairi“ heißt, war damals fischreich; in seiner Umgebung wuchsen Eichen- und Wacholderbäume. Diese wurden, überwiegend in der Epoche der Sassaniden, zu 95 Prozent abgeholzt. Die Besiedlung in Verbindung mit geringer werdendem Niederschlag führte zu einer Verschlechterung des Kleinklimas, was den See austrocknen und versalzen ließ.
