Iran's Lake Urmia is one of the world's largest hypersaline (extremely salty) lakes. It has been declared a Wetland of International Importance and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. But as reported by the United Nations Environment Programme, its water level began to decline rapidly in the mid-1990s. Incoming water was diverted for agricultural use, dams blocked inflowing rivers, rainfall decreased.

Urmia Lake in NW Iran was the world's second largest hypersaline lake until three decades ago, when it began to lose ~ 90% of its surface area due to dwindling water input and enhanced evaporation. To help discern the role of natural vs anthropogenic factors in the rapid demise of Urmia Lake, we present a high-resolution, multi-proxy reconstruction of climate, and hydrological variability.

Once the second-largest saltwater lake in the Middle East, Lake Urmia attracted birds and bathers to bask in its turquoise waters in northwest Iran. Then beginning in the 1970s, nearly three decades of drought and high water demands on the lake shriveled the basin, shrinking it by 80 percent. Recent torrential rains have replenished the water.

In 1995, Lake Urmia reached a high-water mark; then in the ensuing two decades, the lake level dropped more than 7 meters (23 feet) and lost approximately 90 percent of its area. Consecutive droughts, agricultural water use, and dam construction on rivers feeding the lake have contributed to the decline. A shrinking Lake Urmia has implications.
