Azerbaijan's water resources are projected to decline by 20-25% from 2020 to 2050 due to climate change, according to Zakir Guliyev, Deputy Chairman of the State Water Resources Agency. The country, located in an arid zone, relies on external sources for 70% of its water. Prolonged droughts have severely impacted major rivers, Kura and Araz.
