Aral Sea: Aral Sea, Central Asia. Waters of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya (rivers) are almost completely diverted for agricultural irrigation - little reaches the inland Aral Sea. By 1990 the surface area of the Sea had decreased by about half and the salinity had tripled since 1960. Our lengthy time series of photos from orbit permits monitoring and quantification of changes in this disappearing body of water.
