“Heavy withdrawals of irrigation water from the Syr and Amu, the Aral Sea’s two main tributaries, have for all practical purposes eliminated their spills and led to a sharp decrease in the level of the Sea. This and the disruption of ecological equilibrium in this immense region have had catastrophic consequences for both the inhabitants of the region and for the environment.”
