The water level of the Caspian Sea continues to decline sharply. According to the latest measurements, the sea’s water level has reached a record low not seen in the past 48 years.
Experts identify climate change and global warming among the main causes of this decline.
According to Said Safarov, Head of the Caspian Sea Geography Laboratory at the Institute of Geography, the water level of the Caspian Sea has decreased by 2.5 meters over the past 30 years. In coastal areas, the water level has fallen by more than 1.5 meters.
The decline in the Caspian Sea’s water level could have serious environmental, economic, and social consequences. Experts warn that if the process continues at this rate, coastal areas, shipping, the oil and gas industry, and biodiversity could face significant impacts.
Therefore, it is important to investigate the causes of changes in the Caspian Sea’s water level and take measures to prevent potential risks.
