URMIA LAKE

Environmentalists have warned that the construction of the causeway for the bridge, along with other ecological factors, will contribute to the drying up of Lake Urmia, turning it into an inland salt marsh, and adversely affecting the climate of the region. They state that the 1,276 metres (4,186 ft) gap in the causeway is not wide enough to permit and adequate flow between the two portions of the lake.^[3] The presence of increased numbers of halobacteriaceae in the northern portion of the lake is indicative of the increasing salinity of the water.
