Where is the Aral Sea located?

The lake basin sits between Kazakhstan in the north and Uzbekistan in the south, across the Aktobe and Kyzylorda regions as well as Karakalpakstan.

Why did the water level drop?

Soviet irrigation diversions drew water away from the Syr Darya and Amu Darya rivers to support agricultural crop production.

Can fish still survive in the southern waters?

High salinity levels prevent fish survival in the southern basin, leaving only halotolerant life forms.

关于此地

The basin reveals an ecological collapse that transformed an inland sea into salt plains.

A catastrophic water diversion project redirected major rivers toward agricultural fields to maximize cotton harvests. Deprived of normal inflow, the inland body receded rapidly, stranding vessels on dry ground and leaving settlements kilometres away from water. The change wrecked commercial fisheries and turned active harbours into rust sites.

Winds across the exposed basin carry salt and agrochemical residues over adjacent districts. Local populations face severe respiratory problems and contaminated potable supplies, while the disappearance of the surface moisture widened local temperature extremes. Long stays demand careful planning around dust exposure and fresh drinking water.
