Caspian Sea drought risks similar to Aral
A study reveals that the drying of the Caspian Sea is primarily due to human activity, with factors such as the construction of dams, reservoirs, increased irrigation, and industrial activities causing a decline in water flow, despite a slight increase in rainfall. Since the mid-1990s, the sea level has dropped by two meters, and its area has shrunk by 5.5%, resulting in a loss of about 630 cubic kilometers of water, threatening the environment and the region's fisheries upon which it depends. Researchers warn that the closed nature of the sea prevents natural compensation, and they call for the establishment of transparent water management systems to ensure the protection of resources and fisheries.
