Revival of Lake Urmu will prevent salt storms.
Although the project to revive Lake Urmu was launched by the state six years ago, not much has been done in this direction. However, due to the heavy rains in recent years, Lake Urmu has been revived to some extent.
The year 1393 was the busiest time of Lake Urmu, and a large area of the lake dried up and turned into a salt flat, causing the region to be hit by a salt storm as a new phenomenon.
Salt hurricanes have become a serious problem for the environment and, with their destructive effects, threaten to destroy the region’s crops and economy.
The issue of drying up Lake Urmia was raised, and the country’s water basin experts, including David Reza Arab, claimed at a news conference that Lake Urmia would reach the northwest of the country if landslides and salt storms spread.
These claims by experts have become the subject of domestic and foreign media, and have caused concern in neighboring countries and even internationally, where these hurricanes can travel several hundred kilometers.
Salt Hurricanes Salt hurricanes, caused by the drying up of California’s Ovon Gul in 1990, have caused fever, allergies, asthma, sinus and bronchitis, ear and throat stench, lung cancer, and heart disease in this American state.
And it has cost the country’s treatment system millions of dollars a year. A similar problem arose with the drying up of the Aral Sea in Central Asia. In Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, eye diseases, swelling of the joints, sore throats, and similar illnesses were caused by the drying up of the lake.
