Kaveh Madani: Lake Urmia is still alive
Kaveh Madani, an environmental activist, tweeted in response to the news of Lake Urmia’s complete drying up. He urged caution, emphasizing not to normalize the drying of wetlands in Iran by declaring Lake Urmia dead. The lake is still alive, but its water rights were not fulfilled in the last year of the previous government and the first year of the current government. Stabilizing the lake’s condition is an achievable goal, but it requires political will and executive capability.
