Satellite images showed a body of water that had mostly receded to a shallow basin to the north of a bridge which had once bisected the lake, leaving the southern portion largely barren. Iran was facing an environmental disaster similar to what has happened to the Aral Sea in Central Asia. An estimated 6 billion tons of salt and dust threatened to blow around the surrounding area, devastating farmland and posing a health risk to the local population.
The programme to save the lake began in 2013. At the time, Urmia’s surface covered just 500 square km, a fraction of the 5,000 km2 it had been at its height. By 2017, it had expanded to 2,300 km2 and, according to the latest information from the Lake Urmia monitoring station, it was at 3,134 km2 last month.
