DEATH OF THE ARAL SEA

THE ARAL SEA WAS FED BY TWO RIVERS: SYR DAR’YA AND AMU DAR’YA

Both rivers were diverted to irrigate cotton – a very thirsty crop

POOR PLANNING = DISASTER UNLINED CANALS WATER SEEPING INTO THE GROUND BEFORE IT REACHES CROPS EVAPORATION A LARGE % OF WATER NEVER MAKES IT TO THE FIELDS

A NOT-SO-SLOW DEATH

WATER HEATS AND COOLS MORE SLOWLY THAN LAND LARGE BODIES OF WATER MODERATE CLIMATES (NOT SO HOT, NOT SO COLD) NO ARAL SEA = HARSH CLIMATE

SALINATION - SALTY SOIL

HEALTH DANGERS BLOWING DUST FILLED WITH PESTICIDES AND FERTILIZER (POISONS) ANEMIA BRUCELLOSIS ASTHMA TYPHOID EXTREMELY HIGH INFANT MORTALITY RATE
