Besides dams, they should make a concerted effort to plant trees in the region like Africa's sub-Saharan Green Wall. More trees, cooler temps, more moisture, more rainfall, besides the organic matter that is created for the soil. Glad to see that Kazakhstan at least is making an effort to revive its portion of the sea. Hopefully the international community will help come up with the remaining 150 million to extend the dam and help elevate the sea's levels even more.

This is just the North Aral. The south aral is still drying up and will be dried up completely in just a few years, because Usbekistan does not change its ineffective, water-wasting, irresponsible irrigation system or does something to increase the water that comes to the lake.

[@jaijadhav8290]

instead of running behind cotton crops they should have taken care of the sea and should have taken the benefits from it, fishing and other things would have helped them more than cotton crop, they should again let the rivers flow towards the aral sea and let it come back to life..

[@antred11]

Definitely, yeah. Tourism, fishing, a recovering ecosystem with growing diversity and resilience; probably a moderating effect on the regional climate; all those and more would have been benefits to be had from prioritizing a recovery of the Aral Sea. Instead they chose short-term profits, so now most of the region will continue to descend into being a lifeless, toxic, unproductive desert.

[@universaltv9405]

This doesn't change anything beacause water comes from rivesrs, so for filling this sea you have to own Amudarya and Syrdarya. Because there a lot of dams in Tadjikistan and Kyrgizistan, in addition, there are a lot of fields in Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. So it's the problem of Central Asia not Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

[@imdavid4875]

i really hope that regulations should be set in place at the same time, without causing loss of livelihood for the people. on the other hand, people should be educated with how the lake works by providing talks and seminars to ensure their full cooperation. more research about approaches should also be done to make sure the water should be circulated well within the north and south aral seas. hope the lengths the world bank came to only to develop these places wouldn't go to waste and hope there will still be more water.

[@robbykurnia9671]

[@gaoxiaen1]

Cotton uses an incredible amount of water. Isn't there a crop somewhere on Earth that provides a much larger amount of fiber and uses much less water?

[@mieaab]

We need to stop irrigation projects for cotton. Not helping the environment. Unless u grow them in Mississippi Delta or lower Indus and Nile

[@dymytryruban4324]

There is: a hemp. I don't know about the amount of fiber, but 45% cotton and 55% hemp makes nice textile which is more resistant especially during laundry. Pure hemp textile is also good for light summer clothes. The only real issue is shrinkage in dryer which is a wastage of resources anyway.

Which nation used the diverted water for crops today? Wouldn’t it make sense to stop all the diverted water until the white Aral Sea is restored. Then develop the fishing and tourist industry almond with a smaller irrigated farming Industry. They could expand and contest the farming based on sea level. They could change from open field flood irrigation to crops that would work with drip irrigation. For example, fruit trees, vine crops such as melons, grapes. Other crops like apple trees, nuts trees and even crops like a Avocados take less water.
