Protecting Lake Salda, in Turkey, with new regulations — Medwet
Known as Turkey’s Maldives, the lake Salda, located in southwestern Burdur province, is one of the deepest lakes in Turkey and, with its white beach and clear water, among the most important attractions for tourists in recent years. Faced with the threat of pollution due to the number of visitors and irregular structures, however, negative effects on the lake have been generated. And if pollution continues at its current rate, the lake could lose some of its distinctive features.
