Artwork description:
Lake Urmia was the largest lake in the Middle East and the sixth-largest saltwater lake on Earth.
By late 2017, the lake had shrunk to 10% of its former size due to persistent general drought in Iran, but also the damming of the local rivers that flow into it, and the pumping of groundwater from the surrounding area. This dry spell was broken in 2019 and the lake is now filling up once again. The recovery of the lake has continued in 2020 due to above average precipitation and the actions of the Lake Urmia Restoration Program.
Lake Urmia, along with its approximately 102 islands, is protected as a national park.
