[71225] Significant rise in water level in Lake Urmia: New data from Iran


Reports from Iran indicate that the water level in Lake Urmia has reached a six-year high following heavy precipitation.

Dramatic rise in Lake Urmia's level

According to reports from several Iranian news channels, Lake Urmia has experienced a significant recovery in its water level. The channels خبرفوری جنگ🚨اخبارفوری امریکا فوری, خبر فوری جنگ ایران and اخبار هواشناسی کشور state that the level has reached its peak in the last six years.

According to the report on irZagrosNews, the lake's level has reached a figure of 1271 meters, which constitutes an increase of 80 centimeters compared to last year. The channel emphasizes that "the volume of water existing in it has surpassed the threshold of 4 billion cubic meters."

The central factor for the improvement in the ecological situation is attributed to the heavy precipitation that fell in the region recently. According to the report, the precipitation not only flooded the lake basin that had been dry, but "gave new life to the wildlife and Artemia" in the area.

It should be noted that the reporting sources are Iranian news channels dealing with security and weather, and they present the improvement as a significant environmental achievement for the region.
