Mahmudçala is a swampy lake located in the southeast of the Muğan Plain.[1] In recent years, due to the drying up of its water, the area of the Mahmudçala wetland system has significantly decreased.
History
[edit]In 1896, when the Araz River overflowed and flooded the Muğan Plain, the lakes of Ağçala, Mahmudçala, and Cavadçala were formed. Currently, Mahmudçala Lake has turned into a swamp and consists of two parts — Mahmudçala and Ağçala lakes. The lake used to be filled when the Araz River flooded. Now, the lake is fed by the irrigation canals of Muğan and the excess waters of the Bolqarçay River.
In 1965, with the construction of a reservoir on the Bolqarçay, the lake's area significantly decreased (practically most of Ağçala Lake). Since then, the lake system has mainly been fed by the canals. During the summer season, the lake's area shrinks considerably. After 15 years of use, the reservoir on the Bolqarçay became filled with silt, and river water began to flow back into the lake. The lake's bottom is mainly covered with a layer of silt. A large portion of the area is covered by wetland vegetation.
