Drying Wetland Fuels Dust Storm Crisis - Iran

A spent shotgun shell rests on cracked soil at the Eshtehard Wetland on January 5, 2016, in Eshtehard, Iran. Once a seasonal lake, the wetland has largely dried up due to prolonged drought, declining rainfall, and poor water management, becoming a growing source of dust pollution for nearby communities.
