Operations of Restoring Lake Urmia
Araz News : The Iranian government has allocated 21 trillion rials (close to $730 million) for the current Iranian fiscal year (which started May 20) to operations of restoring Lake Urmia, Trend Agency reported.
Issa Kalantari, secretary of Lake Urmia Restoration Staff, said that the allocated sum comes within this year’s national budget.
The official said that if not taken seriously, water shortage will destroy Iran in 15 years.
He mentioned that so far 130 billion of the total 200 billion cubic meters sweet and salt water in Iran has been used up.
Lake Urmia problem is an example of irregular use of underground water resource, First Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri said May 20.
Lake Urmia, located in northwest of Iran, measures about 6,000 square kilometers. The lake has already lost 90 percent of its water. The water level in Lake Urmia started decreasing in 1995.
Kalantari had said earlier over 1.6 quadrillion rials ($57.14 billion based on official rate of 28,000 rials per each USD) is needed for reviving the lake.
If the needed funds are allocated, the lake could be restored by 2023, Kalantari said.
However some Iranian experts believe that the measures which maybe efficient in reviving the lake such as prohibiting unauthorized use of surface and groundwater, limiting groundwater use by local farmers and transferring water from other catchments including Araz River are impractical and will lead to serious social tensions.

I came across your website last week and began to follow your site content regularly.
I haven’t left a comment on any kind of blog site at this time but I was considering
to start soon. It’s actually exciting to actually
contribute to an article even if it’s only a blog.
I truly loved going through several your articles.
Excellent articles for sure. I will keep visiting your blog frequently.
I learned a lot from you. Thank you!
Thanks for your kind attention.

I think what you posted made a ton of sense. However, what about this?
suppose you composed a catchier post title? I mean, I don’t want
to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added a title that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean Iran gives $730M to restore Lake Urmia |
Araz news is a little vanilla. You might look at
Yahoo’s front page and note how they create news titles to get people
interested. You might add a related video or a related pic or two
to get people excited about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it
might make your posts a little bit more interesting.
