Aral Sea: The sea that dried up in 40 years - BBC News

[@Sicyyyy]

I live in the southern part of the Aral Sea (Karakalpakistan, Nukus) and it seems the sea covered half of the country, somewhere in 1-2 km from our house there is a huge open area and a large ship . And thank you all for helping with the Aral Sea, we owe you a lot. (and sry for my english)

If you want to recover Southern Aral Sea (which is the driest part of Aral Sea now), you have to destroy the dams along Amu Darya that divert the water from that river to water the cotton fields in Uzbekistan? Are you ready to face the people anger since their cotton business are disturbed? Also, they must be reject it since cotton is one of the currently highest Uzbekistani commodity.

Two men were walking near the ruins he asked them what happened to the city that was here ? They said we don’t know what you are talking about, there was no city here or anything, this place been like this since the dawn of age. The man left and returned after another 1000 years and found the ruined city became a big lake ! The were some people fishing, he asked them when did this place become a lake, i remember it was a destroyed city? They said we don’t know what you’re talking about but this lake been here since the dawn of time.

+tzar2007 why they not building it for themselves right now? You now why because it was USSR 300 million nation with diverse background. But it's okay, russians always stills someone's history and heritages like with Golden Horde)

I was born in the Aral city in 1992 . In 1994 due to ecological situation we moved to the chimkent. And I think if it did not happen then I would be a surfer with long hair and picking up girls in the beach) . But unfortunately it's only dreams . Sad !

[@subratadhikari2276]

Reminds me of how barren california used to be and even Dubai...the thing is if the locals are willing to stay in their own country and some policies from the government regarding water resource management can change things drastically.

Can we just return it or restore it completely?! Sea must return completely.

[@disyple4]

It is possible, but the Aral sea is on the border with 5 countries, and the governments can't reach arrangements on the use of water that feeds that sea.

[@mahaboobbasha580]

Lesson 1. Don't ever cut short the river. River should be a river ever. Do not turn it into a lake. Lesson 2. Tap river resources minimal. World has lot to learn effects of Dams. Rivers are rivers only if their water ends up into sea.

Awfully sad. Don't want to judge. But I could say that ppl could share some with the needy ppl when they had abundant. Sharing is good& blessings will keep coming with a flow. Hope & pray that God Almighty will guide & bless. Amen

Great ambient music, Watermusic II by William Basinski, I believe, is one of the tracks used. It starts at 2:12 (please correct me if it's a different track)

[@ianmackenzie686]

Kinda like Walker Lake in the States. Put muskovites in charge of the Sahara Desert and within five years there will be a shortage of sand.

[@simplebutcomplicated7312]

Syr Darya and Amu Darya river are the rivers that slowly built up the Aral Lake over centuries. Aral lake was a very rich lake in minerals and saved many lives with its generosity of fish. However us greedy humans built dams on the life veins of this generous lake to water the cotton fields. Now the gift that mother nature has presented us turned into a curse many people die in Aral region because of toxic methane that surfaces after the lake is dried. Please do some research on how we destroyed this beautiful lake, there's great information on Wikipedia.

When I hear of any proposition of siphoning water from the Great Lakes to the South West (aside from an engineering standpoint how ridiculously impractical that is) I think of this.
