The third largest saltwater lake in the world, Orumieh may well not exist after a few years, as predicted by experts. Orumieh is turning to salt with each and every passing day and so far 60% of the entire lake has turned into salt. Droughts, the incorrect irrigation of policies and dams over the rivers are surely the main reasons to be blamed for this incident.
