Climatic or regionally induced by humans? Tracing hydro-climatic and land-use changes to better understand the Lake Urmia tragedy
Lake Urmia—a shallow endemic hypersaline lake in northwest Iran—has undergone a
dramatic decline in its water level (WL), by about 8 m, since 1995. The primary cause of the …

Local flow regulation and irrigation raise global human water consumption and footprint
F Jaramillo, G Destouni - Science, 2015 - science.org
Flow regulation and irrigation alter local freshwater conditions, but their global effects are
highly uncertain. We investigated these global effects from 1901 to 2008, using …
