Iran's eco-disaster: One of the world's biggest salt-water lakes shrinks by 80% in ten years
- Lake Oroumieh has shrunk more than 80% to 1,000 square kilometers
- Experts fear the lake – famous as a tourist spot and a stopping point for migrating flamingos, pelicans and gulls – could disappear within two years
- Climate change, nearby farms using it for irrigation and the damming of rivers is being blamed for the shrinking
As a country, it faces threats of terrorism, nuclear power and frosty international relations with world leaders.
But Iran is focusing on another problem – a shrinking lake.
Lake Oroumieh, of the world’s biggest saltwater lakes, is in danger of completely drying up because of climate change, nearby farms using it for irrigation and the damming of rivers.
Two men walk toward salt-covered rocks that were once deep underwater at Lake Oroumieh. Expanded irrigation for surrounding farms and the damming of rivers that feed the body of water have been attributed to the shrinking lake
It has shrunk more than 80 percent to 1,000 square kilometers (nearly 400 square miles) in the past decade, experts say.
Salt-covered rocks that were once deep underwater now sit in the middle of desert.
Experts fear the lake – famous in years past as a tourist spot and a favorite stopping point for migrating flamingos, pelicans and gulls – could disappear within two years if nothing is done.
