It was  fed up by two powerful rivers that were later turned away by the  decision of  Soviet authorities. They started using water of those  rivers for agriculture and just look how it dramatically changed the  look of the sea, which is now a mere puddle.  <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The black contour shows the original size of the sea before it was  deprived of its rivers. The green is how much water there was left a few  years ago.<img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The water has too high concentration of salt to support any fish life<img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/9.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />And that’s how it looks like now. Just a little bit more effort of the  Sun and nothing more water would be left<img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/14.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/15.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/17.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Just imagine this was before a sea bottom, with thousand feet tall water  level above and pretty sea life. Now you can come there on the car.<img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/18.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/19.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />To understand the scale of those cliffs that were under water once you  can check the three dark small spots at the right bottom corner of the  photo. Those are the lost cows. People tell the story that they meet  them from time to time there but have no idea how they manage to survive  in this no-green desert.<img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/20.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/21.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/22.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/23.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/aral_sea/24.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
