Lake Urmia Going Dry After 12,000 Years - Iran

A ship stranded in the growing salt flats of Lake Urmia, a salt lake in the province of West Azerbaijan. Studies have revealed that the lake's size has fluctuated over time largely due to the impact of periods drought and flooding. Currently the lake is rapidly shrinking due to drought but also due to dams built on some of the rivers that feed the lake. The 2023-2024 water year, which started on October 1, was hardly four weeks old when Iran’s Lake Urmia, once the Middle East’s largest lake and the sixth-largest saltwater lake on Earth, was reported to have gone dry. Studies show such an occurrence had not happened in 12,000 years. On October 9, as secretary of the Headquarters to Revive Lake Urmia, Mohammad Sadegh Motamediyan, governor of West Azerbaijan province, where part of the late sits, went on the Tehran TV network to claim that the lake still contained a certain volume of water. But satellite images and aerial footage later captured at the lake, on October 16, belie those claims. Urmia, Iran, Novembe
