It is a registered natural monument of the country and a Ramsar site. Lake Meke is located in Karapınar district of Konya Province. It is {{convert|9|km|mi|abbr=on}} away from Karapınar, and {{convert|2|km|mi|abbr=on}} south of the Konya-Adana highway {{TUR-D|330}} {{European route E|981}}. It was formed by the flooding of the crater of an extinct volcano, which took shape about 4 million years ago when the volcano erupted.{{Citation needed|reason=Interesting formation; would be good to have citation|date=March 2017}} About 9,000 years ago, a second eruption formed another volcanic cone inside the lake with a maar. Lake Meke now consists of two lakes with various islets. It is {{convert|800|m|ft|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|500|m|ft|abbr=on}} wide with a depth of {{convert|12|m|ft|abbr=on}}. The inner lake inside the {{convert|50|m|ft|abbr=on}}-high volcanic cone is {{convert|25|m|ft|abbr=on}} deep, and contains saline water. The volcanic cone island resisted erosion by the harsh weather conditions due to its massive material, and has retained its form for thousands of years. Protected areasLake Meke was declared a first grade protected area in 1989. It was registered as a natural monument in 1998. On June 21, 2005, the lake and its surrounding area was declared a Ramsar site because of its international importance for wildfowl.[5][6] Declining water levelA scientist from Selçuk University in Konya stated in 2009 that the lake had nearly dried up. He stated that the reason behind this was the uncontrolled extraction of water for agricultural irrigation and overdrafting.[7] In 2012, it was reported that the lake's capacity had decreased by about 60% within the last twenty years and that there was a risk that it would dry out completely. In many sections of the lake, the water was becoming increasingly saline and crystallization was occurring.[8] A drought season in 2014 caused a lowering of the groundwater level which was responsible for the further drying out of the lake to an extent of almost 99%. The remaining water body was turned red by the large quantity of microorganisms present in the brackish water.[9] Nearly a hundred species of bird which were previously seen at the lake, had by 2015 moved elsewhere.[10] References1. ^{{Cite web|title=Meke Maar|website=Ramsar Sites Information Service|url=https://rsis.ramsar.org/ris/1618|accessdate=25 April 2018}} [2][3][4][5][6][7]2. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.turkiyesulakalanlari.com/wp-content/uploads/Turkeys-Ramsar-Sites.pdf |publisher=Türkiye Sulak Alanları |title=Turkey’s Important Wetlands – Ramsar Sites |accessdate=2017-02-11 }} 3. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://www.milliyet.com.tr/dunyanin-nazar-boncugu-meke-golu--haritadan-silinme-noktasina-geldi-gundem-1141414/ |newspaper=Milliyet |title=Dünyanın nazar boncuğu Meke Gölü, haritadan silinme noktasına geldi |date=2009-09-20 |language=Turkish |accessdate=2017-01-15 }} 4. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://www.gazetevatan.com/meke-golu-kuruyor-464758-dunya/ |newspaper=Vatan |title=Meke Gölü kuruyor |date=2012-07-15 |language=Turkish |accessdate=2017-01-15 }} 5. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/dunyanin-nazar-boncugu-meke-golu-kurudu-26923196 |newspaper=Hürriyet |title=Dünyanın 'nazar boncuğu' Meke Gölü kurudu |author=Yıldız, Mehmet Kayhan |date=2014-08-01 |language=Turkish |accessdate=2017-01-15 }} 6. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://www.sabah.com.tr/yasam/2015/09/21/dunyanin-nazar-boncugu-kuruyor |newspaper=Sabah |title='Dünyanın nazar boncuğu' kuruyor |date=2015-09-21 |language=Turkish |accessdate=2017-01-15 }} 7. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.ramsar.org/wetland/turkey |publisher=Ramsar |title=Turkey |accessdate=2017-02-10 }} }} External links{{commons category|Lake Meke}}{{Lakes of Turkey}}{{Natural monuments of Turkey}}{{Ramsar sites in Turkey}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Meke}} 7 : Lakes of Turkey|Landforms of Konya Province|Natural monuments of Turkey|Ramsar sites in Turkey|Crater lakes|Protected areas established in 1998|1998 establishments in Turkey |
