<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>Decrease of saline lakes, which comprises of 44% of all the available lake water, is a major concern. It additionally brings to desertification process to the region. Thus, various countries have taken different actions in protecting their lake’s water level. The aim of this paper is to assess different strategies directed to tackle the decreasing saline lake water levels. Lake Urmia and the Aral Sea which split into North Aral and South Aral were among the world's largest saline lakes and now have reduced to 10% of their original size. A thorough review of academic reports, official documents and databases were considered. Although the dry-up of the lake is a natural process, it has been sped up by human interventions in the hydrology cycle. Dust storms (strong winds) in the case of the Aral Sea, transmit the pollutants from dry lake surface which initially accumulated in the lakebed causing severe health issue. Various strategies were implemented to manage the socio-economic conditions caused due to the drying of lakes. The strategy implemented for the North Aral Sea was to restore the lake by reducing the water withdrawal from tributary rivers which leads to increased water level in the sea. The strategy implemented for Lake Urmia was to restore the lake by water transfer activities from neighbouring water sources which until now show no increase in water level. The strategy implemented for the South Aral Sea was to use a dry lakebed to diversify the economy by oil and mineral extraction which shows the adaptation to the environmental conditions with no restoration strategy. As a conclusion, it is found that there is no common best solution for this kind of problem. The best fit depends on the local context and it is strongly path dependent.<strong> </strong></p><p>Keywords: Drying saline lake; Dust storms; Aral sea; Health impacts; Lake Urmia; Restoration of saline lake; Strategies.</p>

An isolated <em>Dunaliella salina</em> (<em>D. salina</em>) KU XI from saline soils in northeastern Thailand was cultured in f/2 medium in column photobioreactor. The variations of the growth, chlorophyll and beta-carotene content and the maximum quantum yield of PS II photochemistry (F<sub>v</sub>/F<sub>m</sub>) under different NaH<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> concentrations were studied. Based on the results, the growth kinetics of <em>D. salina</em> KU XI was established, which could simulate the algae growth rate under different phosphate concentrations and temperatures. The phosphorus could significantly affect the growth and pigments accumulations of this isolated strain. Increasing NaH<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> concentration improved the biomass, the total chlorophyll and beta-carotene content, retarded the decrease of F<sub>v</sub>/F<sub>m</sub> value. The optimal phosphate concentration for the growth of <em>D. salina</em> KU XI was above 72.6 μM. The maximum biomass and beta-carotene were 0.24 g L<sup>-1</sup> and 17.4 mg L<sup>-1</sup> respectively when NaH<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> was 290.4 μM. The algae growth was restrained by phosphate or nitrate when NaH<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> below 12.1 μM or above 72.6 μM. It indicated that properly supplementing nitrate in the late growth stage with high phosphate concentration was favored for enhancing the growth and biomass production.

Eggs and sac fry of the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) were subjected in the laboratory to various dilutions of water obtained from four saline North Dakota lakes; three were sodium sulfate-, one a sodium chloride-type lake. In water from the latter, the percent of fertilized eggs surviving as sac fry for 5 days remained the same as the percent hatched: about 90% at treatment levels of 500 – 12,000 μmho and 68% in undiluted lake water of 18,000 μmho. In sodium sulfate-type water, however, about 92% of the fertilized eggs hatched at treatment levels of 500 up to only 6,000 μmho, with about 82% living as sac fry for 5 days in water from two of the lakes, and only about 54% living for 5 days in dilutions made from the most saline lake (lake water of 25,000 μmho). No sac fry survived for 5 days after hatching in sodium sulfate-type water of 12,000 μmho. From laboratory bioassays and field observations, we estimated sodium sulfate-type water exceeding 8,000 μmho during reproductive periods may decrease survival of sac fry.
