BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 28. The level of the
Caspian Sea may drop by six meters by the end of the century, the
Deputy Head of the Environmental Policy Department of the Ministry
of Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan Rafig Verdiyev told
Trend .
He noted that the level of rivers flowing into the Caspian Sea
has decreased over the past 30 years.
“Moreover, precipitation is decreasing, evaporation is
increasing, which will lead to a decline in the level of the
Caspian Sea. There was a project envisioned in 1979 to bring
northern rivers into the sea due to the lowering of the Caspian Sea
level. However, the level of the Caspian Sea rose. Therefore, the
project was postponed. The ongoing processes may bring this project
up to date again,” Verdiyev added.
