      Aral Sea

      • The Aral Sea a landlocked endorheic sea in Central Asia, straddles the boundary between Uzbekistan to the south and west and Kazakhstan to the north and east.
      • The name roughly translates as “Sea of Islands,” referring to more than 1,000 islands of 2.5 acres (one hectare) or more that dotted its waters.
      • Once the fourth-largest lake on Earth, the Aral Sea shrank to less than 50 percent its original size in a matter of decades.
      • This reduction came as a result of the diversion of its in-flowing rivers, the Syr Darya and the Amu Darya, by the Soviet Union for irrigation purposes.
      • This loss of water turned the once freshwater lake into one as salty as the ocean.
      • By the end of the twentieth century, the once great sea had been broken into two separate lakes.
      • Its entire ecosystem suffered a near collapse due not only to diversion practices, but also to extreme pollution resulting from biological weapons testing during the Cold War, industrial projects, and fertilizer runoff.
      • The health and livelihoods of thousands of people living in its ecosystem were severely comprised.
