A PhD in natural geography pointed out the connection between the ground subsidence crisis and migration, stating: Migration is a multi-faceted phenomenon and cannot be solely attributed to the subsidence crisis; however, if the decline in water resources and subsidence in a region is accompanied by a decrease in agricultural production, increased costs of maintaining infrastructure, damage to buildings, and a decline in quality of life, it is natural for economic and social pressures to increase.
ISNA is a semi-official Iranian news agency (Iranian Students News Agency). This is a translation of that outlet's own report; it is the outlet's account, not Artesh's finding.
