Location and geography of Lake Urmia Basin
• 6 Hydrological Basins in IRAN.
• Lake Urmia basin located in North-West
of the country,
• LU basin area: 52000 km2
• LU area: 5,000 km2
• Shallow water body (average depth 5.4 meter)
• Average water level 1275. 5 masl
• More than 5 Million People in the basin
• Vast hyper-saline (185 t0 250 gr/lit) lake
– now (>400 gr/lit)
Ecological Importance of Lake Urmia
The Lake is a National Park
One of the largest wetlands in Iran with globally importance
(designated as a Ramsar Site in Ramsar Convention)
5 Ramsar Sites in the basin, include Urmia lake
and some of surrounding wetlands.
UNESCO Biosphere Reserve
9 globally important bird areas in Lake Urmia’s Islands
and surrounding wetlands.
Current situation of LU
Current water level 1270.1(Oct. 2015) - (Av. 1275.5, Max. 1278.4) masl
Current area 900 km2 - 5,000 km2 in normal conditions
Current water volume 1.4 bcm - 32 bcm in normal conditions
Main Challenges in LU Basin
• Drought and climate change in the region
(decreasing of precipitation (20%) and increasing of temperature (2 c) )
• More water abstraction from rivers and ground water resources;
• Increasing trends for water and land development projects;
• Expansion of agricultural lands (from 200,000 ha in 1980 to
490,000 ha in 2013);
• Use of traditional irrigation systems;
• Existing of unauthorized irrigation wells;
• Planting crops that consume a lot of water
Sustainable Agriculture around LU by Government and Local
Communities/Alternative Livelihood
Project title:
Contribution to water saving in the ecosystem by
modelling local community engagement in
sustainable agriculture practices

Risks and Challenges
•Fragile inter-sectoral cooperation and the need for strengthening;
• Taking care of local community participation on all stages;
• Sustainability of the new approach, the need for at least 3-5 years of
follow up;
• Wrong and right driving forces at agricultural sector;
• These new approaches need more time comparing to current system
and ongoing approaches;
