Shrinking Aral Sea, 2000-2016 In the 1960s, the Soviet Union undertook a major water diversion project on the arid plains of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan. The region’s two major rivers, fed by snowmelt and precipitation in faraway mountains, were used to transform the desert into farms for cotton and other crops. Before the project, the Syr Darya and the Amu Darya rivers flowed down from the mountains, cut northwest through the Kyzylkum Desert, and finally pooled together in the lowe

Sixty years ago, the Aral Sea thrived. Now, fishing fleets lie stranded in the sand, victims of Soviet irrigation. People watched their livelihoods slowly disappear as rivers dried up. Today, the Aral Sea faces extinction. #AralSea #EnvironmentalDisaster #Uzbekistan #SovietUnion #WaterCrisis #EcologicalDamage From: Alexander's Lost World S1 Ep1 | Odyssey - Ancient History

The Aral Sea, located on the border of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, was once the fourth largest lake in the world. This Timelapse shows how water levels here have gradually decreased. In the 1960s, the rivers that fed the Aral were diverted to irrigate newly created cotton fields in the adjacent Kyzylkum Desert. By 1997, water volume had declined to 10% of its original size, and recent satellite images show its entire eastern basin dried up. 45.510578°, 58.757118° Source imagery: NASA / Google Tim

By the way, do you know which international organization supported this revival? Tell u
