- •
To restore drying Urmia Lake, the new official policy aims to increase inflow by cutting of irrigation water use substantially.
- •
Inflow to the lake was projected under the different climate and anthropogenic scenarios.
- •
Water availability in the basin will decrease under all climate change scenarios.
