Umm al Binni lake
Based on the interpretation of satellite imagery, Sharad Master suggests the 3.4 km (2.1 mi) in diameter dry lake may be an impact crater based on its nearly circular, slightly polygonal rim shape, and contrasting shape to other lakes in the region. However, the circularity of its shape has been disputed, with a 2018 study finding that the northeastern and southwestern sections of the lake rim were straight, corresponding to the directions of regional faulting. As to its origin, Masters rejects karst topography, salt doming, tectonic deformation, and igneous intrusion as well as possible bombing or man-made origins. However, a 2018 study concluded that the formation of the lake could be better explained by the subsidence of the underlying basement fault blocks, and that the southern part of the rim had been anthropogenically shaped.

Al-Faw
Another view suggests that the name is derived from the city’s position at the mouth (fāh) of the Shatt al-Arab, which evolved linguistically into Faw. Some sources, however, argue that the original word was al-Faʾu (الفأو), meaning “open land visible to the eye” or “land enclosed between two elevations”.
Average elevation: 1 m
