Future Perspectives on The Regional Impact of Urmia Lake Drought With a Political Approach

Urmia Lake is one of the largest Salt supersaturation lakes in the world and in the region. But its life has been endangered over the last few decades due to many factors, such as dam construction, the rising rainfall, the increasing number of wells around the lake, as well as other major factors.. In this regard, the present study aimed to find a way to prevent the occurrence of a regional and even national crisis, from the perspective of the future, to examine the regional impacts of the drying of Lake Urmia on the horizon of 2025. This research, which is a developmental-functional research in view of nature and is descriptive-analytical one in terms of method, has used the interview and Delphi method to collect the required information and then these data were analyzed using the structural analysis method And Mick Mac technique, The results show that the variables of salt storm, dust, Smooth Sands, and non-pollutant salmon canals and the ability of the region to become the National Park are key variables. These variables influence the key variables of other variables and have the most impact on other variables and are less effective. Also, the most important influential variable, which both directly and indirectly influences this process, is people And at the first stage, the effects of direct drying of the lake on people such as increased aerosol should be prevented from exceeding the permissible occurrence of storms and the spread of mudslides in the region, and in the subsequent stages, the other variables were also monitored and controlled and prevented their damages.
