He emphasized the importance of protecting the natural wealth and unique ecosystem of the region.
“Since 1854, the water level in the lake has dropped by almost 14 meters, and the total volume of water has decreased to 85 billion cubic meters. The number of rivers flowing into the lake has decreased by more than three times: while there were about 100-110 in the 1950s and 1960s, now only 30-35 remain. If this trend continues, the region may face serious ecological and socio-economic problems. In response, the government has already taken measures and is implementing projects aimed at increasing the inflow of water into the lake, including the construction of new channels and hydraulic structures,” he added.
