the same thing is happening to Urmia lake which is located in Iran, it size is something about 140 km (length) and 55 Km(width) . it is one of the biggest lakes in the world but it has shrunk something about 10 % in last couple of years. it is effecting all sort of creatures. if it keeps shrinking as the same pace , soon we wont even remember that there was even a lake once
the funny thing is Iran's government is aware of the situation but all they do is telling how concerned they are that they are loosing such national asset and actually doing nothing

here you can see how fast it is shrinking :/
