Why is The Urmia Lake Disappearing!!!? Lake Urmia is an endorheic salt lake in Iran. The lake is located the west of the southern portion of the Caspian Sea.The drying out has threatened the habitats of shrimp, flamingos, deers and wild sheep and caused salt storms that pollute nearby cities and farms. Since 1995, it has been shrinking, according to the UN Environment Programme, due to a combination of rising temperatures, reduced rainfall, dam-building and over-farming.
