How to transform a sea into a desert
 

The Aral sea sits between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and was once the fourth largest sea in the world. What was a 68,000 square kilometer sea, and thriving fishing industry, is now a sea that is 10 % of the original size, too salty and polluted to support fish. In fact the third largest sea in the world, is now considered to be three lakes.

The demise of the Aral Sea was caused primarily by the diversion of the inflowing Amu Dar'ya and Syr Dar'ya rivers in 1960's to provide irrigation water for local croplands. At the current rate of decline, the Aral Sea has the potential to disappear completely by 2020.

Now it's almost gone leaving a dessert full of old shipwrecks :(

wasn't this on the history channel like 5 years ago

Quite possible.

those are some cool pics

If it was on The History Channel five years ago maybe you should be more concerned about what's happening today. Things do not get better over time.

old news.
time line pic please.
Loreen all your posts are sort of non webmaster issues, should you be reported to the admins of this board as are you sure you are a webmaster?

Put this into the "Fucking around" section. I truly don't understand why would you click on a non-webmastering topic and then complain it's not about the adult industry.

And yeah, it's not news. But I find it troubling, painfully sad. Unfortunately I am not in a position to make a change, the only thing I can do is pass it on.

Have over xxxx already :winkwink:

start more blogs please and leave this board NOW

I was here first :)

wow wtf???????

will you stop posting dumb posts all day long?

So fourth or third?

And your facts are BS, Aral never was neither 4th, nor 3th largest sea with lousy 68.000 square km's... I could name you from top of my head about 10 seas that are way bigger than that.

Third - not sure about extinction because after they built a dam sea is getting bigger and not continue to get smaller

lol @ this thread

.. like the desert miss the rain

Been doing this all over the planet for a while now.

Good for the earth (eventually) but rather tragic for the living (now)

if it hurts so bad, stop posting on a message board and take some damn water over there and fill that bitch back up..I'd like to do some fishing there some day

The could divert water into the basin if they wanted to

Can you give me source ? :)

This is sig spam and against the gfy rules. It would get you banned if this forum had moderators. :2 cents:

nice post

Thats fucking crazy

Actually at least Kazakhstan is working on restoring the sea. They created a dam a few years ago and the water level in the north part rises again. There's a growing population of fish too.

Howewer the south part continues to dry out ...

Would make a good Mad Max style film set with all those dead boats scattered around.

If you are talking to me, it isn't even linked. Just a hint as to why loreen posts so much old news.. .

No worries all of ya, NASA has a masterplan of transforming MARS in the next decades into a living planet so if this planet is dieing slowly a new will reborn.......

alias, WTF??? :mad:
