Studies show that 100 years ago the water level in the Caspian Sea was 2 meters higher than now. Academician Nana Fakhreddin Gadirov said this, speaking at a conference dedicated to the Caspian Sea.
Academician noted that since 2005 every year the water level drops by 10 cm: “In the 30s of the twentieth century, the water level dropped by 1.5 meters, in the period 1978-1995. The water level rose by 2.7 However, since 2005, every year the water level falls by 10 cm. If these changes last another 25-30 years, then the northeastern part of the Caspian can expect the fate of the Aral Sea. “
