introduction azarshahr plain is one of the plains adjacent tothe lake urmia that has been faced, during recent years,withover extraction of groundwater and alsoexposed to salinity enrichment. on the other hand, urmia lake with about 5000 square kilometers is the relatively vastlake with hyper-saline water as a rare biosphere resource in iran and the world. this lake has a great economic, social...

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...

Effects of Enriched-Biochar on Phosphorus Adsorption Behavior in Saline and Non-Saline Soils Lake Urmia Basin

over the past years, lake water levels have decreased considerably by various factors and the subsequent emergence of salt plain has brought disastrous consequences that need an essential action. therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of drying up and increasing lake water salt and landsat satellite images were used during different time periods in 9 years. to identify the new a...

Iran Urmia Lake, the world second largest hypersaline lake, has been largely desiccated over the last two decades resulting in socio-environmental consequences similar or even larger than the Aral Sea disaster. To rescue the lake a new water management plan has been proposed, a rapid 40% decline in irrigation water use replacing a former plan which intended to develop reservoirs and irrigation....

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...

background: urmia lake, the second largest hyper-saline lake of the world, has experienced lack of water and other environmental issues in recent years. now, there is a danger of the lake drying out, which will affect the region and its inhabitants. this study aimed to present a model which can relate the water level of the lake to effective factors. methods: parameters that influence water lev...

glasswort(salicornia europaea l.) as an important halophyte plant is capable to accumulate nacl in aboveground part (fully edible) in considerable quantity. to evaluate the effect of irrigation levels and nitrogen fertilizer on the yield of seed and oil, and also harvest index of glasswort, a split plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications a...

Lake water level fluctuation is a function of hydro-meteorological components, namely input, and output to the system. The combination these components from in-situ remote sensing sources has been used in this study define multiple scenarios, which are major explanatory pathways assess lake levels. goal analyze each scenario through application balance equation simulate largest Iran, Urmia, sel...

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 ...
