Drought and erosion threats are on the agenda at Ulaş Lake!

Declared a 'Nationally Important Wetland' in 2016, Ulaş Lake is facing serious danger due to drought this year. The decrease in water levels observed last year is now being seen again due to rising temperatures.

The withdrawal of water by 100 meters from the shore and the formation of deep cracks threaten the local ecosystem. The departure of migratory birds like flamingos is one of the most striking consequences of this situation.

Experts point to the lack of rainfall and uncontrolled agricultural irrigation as the main causes of the drought. This situation poses a significant problem for both the ecosystem and the local population.

The changes observed at Ulaş Lake are alarming for environmentalists and local residents. If urgent measures are not taken, the threat of drought may increase as the summer progresses.
