YEREVAN, JUNE 6, ARMENPRESS. Water levels in Armenia’s reservoirs, especially large ones, are low and the authorities could authorize additional drainage from Lake Sevan for irrigation purposes, a senior government official said Tuesday.

Researchers examined approximately 250,000 satellite images of 2,000 large lakes between 1992 and 2020; Alarming findings point to climate change and human activities as culprits in worsening state of lakes worldwide

The amount lost in the last 30 years is equivalent to 17 Lake Meads — the largest reservoir in the U.S.

More than 50 percent of the largest lakes in the world are losing water, according to a groundbreaking new assessment published today in Science. The key culprits are not surprising: warming climate and unsustainable human consumption.

MANHATTAN (KSNT) – Satellite images have shown Earth’s largest lakes are shrinking due to climate change and human consumption, according to a Kansas State University study. Lakes store 87% of the world’s fresh water and changes in volume have repercussions for water sustainability, food security, waterbird habitats, carbon and nutrient cycling and recreation, according to […]

A Kansas State University collaborative study found that more than half of the world’s largest lakes are shrinking.

Fifty-three percent of the worlds largest freshwater lakes are in decline, storing less water than they did three decades ago, according to a new study. The study analyzed satellite observations dating back decades to measure changes in water levels in nearly 2,000 of the worlds biggest lakes and reservoirs. It found that climate change, human consumption and sedimentation are responsible.
