Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 15:6

"For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the grass is withered away, the tender grass faileth, there is no green thing." — Isaiah 15:6 (ASV)

The waters of Nimrim ... —These also appear in Jeremiah 48:34. They were probably a reservoir from which the fields were irrigated so as to be conspicuous for their lushness. Eusebius (Onomast.) places it north of Zoar. The name appears to survive in the Wady en Nemeirah on the south-eastern shore of the Dead Sea (De Saulcy, Voyage, i. 284; Tristram, Land of Israel, 340). Beth-Nimrah appears as the name of a town in Numbers 32:36. The desolation predicted was probably thought of as caused by the stoppage of the wells, one of the common acts of an invading army (2 Kings 3:25).
