Azerbaijan’s environment is under pressure. Flooding from irrigation canal leakage, irrigation return, blocked drainage systems, and leaking water pipes / sewers are the most significant problems. Associated phenomena include groundwater level rise, salinization, and fertilizer contamination. Since the start of the Samur-Absheron irrigation canal project, groundwater level has risen by up to 20 m. Rise in Caspian Sea level has also caused flooding. Landslides are triggered by slope erosion, irrigation, engineering works, and increased loading. Soil contamination is a major problem in the oilfields of the Absheron Peninsula. Mud volcanoes, deflation, internal erosion, and abrasion are widely developed. This evaluation marks the start of a geoenvironmental monitoring project within the Republic.
