Synopsis LUCKLESS LAKE

"Gavkhouni wetland", which was one of the most important Wetlands in iran, has now completely dried up/2021

The plateau of Iran, an area as wide as 2500000 square kilometers is a pronounced example of the nature's mechanism for stability, a dispute over life, an effort to perceive the methods of living and an agony for survival. The wetlands which occupy almost 41000 square kilometers of this plateau, play a major role in gathering the surface water of this dry stretch. These watersheds has been fed through temporary sources of water for thousands of years and this reason has led to a somewhat permanent biological system in the dry and wet eras. Parallel to the lands existence, humans concomitantly accompanied nature along with its rules from thousands of years ago.
