National Geographical Organization Scientific- Research Quarterly of Geographical Data (SEPEHR) 2588-3860 22 86 2013 05 22 The evaluation of people and activities’ impact on the accession of Lake Urmia’s environmental crisis The evaluation of people and activities’ impact on the accession of Lake Urmia’s environmental crisis 17 27 25927 FA Naser Soltani Orumia University 0009-0000-1064-1889 Journal Article 2013 02 17 The environmental crisis of Lake Urmia is considered to be one of the most important environmental, geological, and human dangers of the country. This condition makes it more necessary to study the main processes that influence the level of the water in Lake Urmia so that the suitable directional strategies and plans are applied to stop the decrease in the level of the sea. Taking this into consideration and indicating the impact of natural causes in this crisis’ accession and its augmentation, the study tried to Study the impact of human as well as population variables in this environmental issue.   Six significant effective factors in human consumption were chosen to be studied and relating to the official data and statistics, it was found that the consumption patterns, both concerning the people and activities, are in poor condition. In almost all the factors studied, the capitation of water consumption was higher than the average of that value in the country which has resulted in an imbalance in the consumption patterns of the region. Accordingly, it seems essential to develop appropriate plans and strategies to control and manage the consumption patterns in both aspects of population and activities.
