The Ministry of the Environment is preparing to take advantage of the El Niño floods to restore wetlands.
The Deputy Minister for the Environment in talks with Tasnim:
🔹Since July, following predictions about the imminent El Niño phenomenon, correspondence and coordination has been taking place with the offices of the district governors, the disaster management organization, the Ministry of Energy and the district environmental departments to prepare water flow routes.
🔹Provinces such as Bushehr, Madan and Kermansha have taken commendable steps; West Azerbaijan is also working on digging canals leading to Lake Urmia.
🔹If 3 to 4 billion cubic meters of water flow into Lake Urmia this year, its water volume could reach about 7 to 8 billion cubic meters.
