Quoted by ISNA; The land of Lake Urmia is not only a local environmental crisis, but also a national and even transnational threat that will have very devastating consequences on soil, water, air, human health and the biodiversity of Azerbaijan and even the country.
Ahmad Baibordi, head of the Center for Agriculture Research of East Azerbaijan and Environmental Activist, cited the unprecedented temperature in East Azerbaijan as the dryness of Lake Urmia and said:
In this area, due to a large dry water zone, air humidity has decreased and reduced rainfall in the area.
He said that Lake Urmia now has under 5 million cubic meters of water:
In the 1980s, the lake had 2 billion cubic meters of water, which unfortunately suffered this critical situation.
Bayardi pointed to the environmental crises caused by Lake Urmia and said:
Increasing the air temperature of the Azerbaijani climate, especially Tabriz and salt storms, are the most important issues caused by the lake dryness.
He said that if the domestic and foreign company is found and claimed to be able to revive Lake Urmia, he would undoubtedly seek fraud:
The issue of the possibility of revitalizing Lake Urmia in these circumstances is an unscientific work and a divine miracle must be done to revive the lake.
The environmental activist stated:
From now on, we should call Urmia Lake Urmia Wetland and there is nothing called lake anymore.
Have no good days ahead
Mohammad Hossein Hassanzadeh, Director General of Environmental Protection of East Azerbaijan, said that we do not have good days in the critical situation of Lake Urmia.
Some issues in the area of Lake Urmia are unimaginable.
He pointed to the dimensions of the environmental crisis of Lake Urmia and added:
The elimination of agricultural capacity and capacity, land saline, lowering groundwater aquifers, and endangering the health of the lake and resident in Azerbaijan are among the dry consequences of this Lake Urmia.
The Director General of Environmental Protection of East Azerbaijan continued:
Giving away from non -economic and traditional farming is a solution that had to be operational in the past few years, and the lack of utilization of groundwater aquifers is one of the urgent and essential solutions in the lake.
Hassanzadeh stated:
About five million tons of agricultural crops are produced in East Azerbaijan, which, if we farm in the same traditional way, will reduce the quality and economic value of crops.
