in this study some thermodynamic parameters including freezing point, boiling point and the vapor pressure of urmia lake salt water were investigated as some important environmentally monitored physicochemical properties of urmia lake. in this regard salt concentration is chiefly responsible for the modification of the thermodynamic properties of urmia lake water which affects its overall en...

abstract the urmia lake as an important water body in the northwest of iran, recently is faced with a critical level reduction, which makes it important to evaluate the causes. in this regard understanding of the lake's behavior and assessing effect of tele-connections on lake level oscillations is necessary. this subject constructs objective of the present paper that applies the spectral analy...

introduction lake terraces are geomorphological evidence of climate change during quaternary. location of these terraces location in different elevation shows paleo water lake level fluctuations. investigation about urmia lake terraces was conducted by bobek (1973).he found those terraces in 45-55 meter above urmia water level on that time. according to bobek, development of lake area in paleo ...

the study on water level fluctuation in the urmia lake has become of a great importance in recent years. this is due to the importance of the position of this lake as a natural heritage at an international level. the water level decrease at the urmia lake during the recent years has made it necessary to address the matter more than before. investigation and assessment of changes in the lake is ...

nature has always proven that it is able to overcome its problems. however, humanmanipulation has led to environmental degradations. the dryness of a thousand-year urmia lake(a brine water lake in iran) is an example of environmental degradation that happened due tosuccessive droughts and construction of dams on the basin of this lake. this study examinesmethods for the revival of urmia lake by...

development projects in natural water resources like rivers and lakes, specially transferring water to use in agriculture, domestic and industrial sector without considering environmental values, causes irrecoverable and irreversible damage to ecosystem and future options. if we consider the future generation and species rights, those damages and costs can be very much than we take in. the abov...
