The recent drop of the Caspian Sea's water level has prompted
scientists to believe that the amount of water at the salt-water
lake
fluctuate periodically.
The Caspian Sea, the world's largest in-land lake of the kind,
was
found to be down an average of 20 centimeters in water level last
year, reversing the continuous rise in previous years.
The discovery, said a report in the fortnightly Ecological
Messenger magazine published here today, was made by scientists
working with Azerbaijan's State Hydrology Committee.
