"Iran's largest lake turning to salt"

"How did this disaster develop?
Official reports blame the drying mainly on a decade-long drought, and peripherally on consumption of water of the feeding rivers for farming. They put 5 percent of the blame on construction of dams and 3 percent on other factors. Others disagree about the relative blame." Source: yahoo 
Over irrigation is true, but I believe mostly is as a result of climate change, and also the new bridge that has divided the lake in almost two parts. Therefore, water currents have disrupted. In the southern part the evaporation is higher than the northern and the new bridge has severed the evaporation in the southern, where there is a limit in water current replacement. So, the government ignore the bridge construction affect, since it was one of the shameful project.
