The Aral Sea is a well-known example of vast regional change due to anthropogenic influences. Huge irrigation projects have led to a dramatic decrease of the sea level since 1960, to significant volume and area losses, and finally to meso-climatological changes and to drastic living conditions for the population. Remote sensing satellite data and GIS techniques have been used to monitor the desiccation process and to build up the basis for a regional Geographical Information System (GIS).
