Environmental recovery: Soldouz Lake in Iran fills up again
In a significant environmental event, the head of the Department of Environment in Naqadeh announced that Soldouz Lake in West Azerbaijan Province, Iran, is overflowing for the first time in 15 years. According to the Akharin Khabar Telegram channel, this is a noticeable improvement in the water situation in the region.
According to reports, also reported by Tabriz khabarlary and the agency SNN.ir, excess water from the lake is now being directed straight toward Lake Urmia, which has been struggling for years with alarming drying processes. The channels, which are identified with the Iranian state editorial line emphasizing environmental restoration projects, presented the move as a positive step for improving the ecosystem in the area.
This is encouraging data for the residents of the region, who have suffered in recent years from a drastic drop in water levels. The reporting sources note that this is the result of local water management efforts that have allowed the ecological wetland to return to full activity after more than a decade of drought and dryness.
