Geography[]

The lake lies at 678 m (2,224 ft) above mean sea level in the basin of the Derbeke River, part of the Yana basin.[3] It is located to the east of the river, roughly 50 km (31 mi) to the south of the Nelgesin Range. Lake Emanda is the largest lake of the Yana Plateau.[4]

The Seen River (Сеен), a right hand tributary of the Derbeke, is the outflow of the lake.[3]
