Please, place this image otherwhere within the article, not in the infobox and explain it. For the infobox the NASA image is much more suitable. --Gschupfta Ferdl (talk) 11:28, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

'Aral Sea'
There has been much talk about Soviet Union using too much of the water from the rivers causing Aral sea to dry out

However, an referring to what is said below - The word 'Aral Sea' is not once mentioned in this article. Isn't that quite remarkable!

The main contribution seems to be the reduced flow in Amu Darja river, historically the larger of the two rivers feeding the lake. The Aral Sea has shrunk since first half of the 20th century, faster since about 1970 and very fast after the fall of Soviet Union and the reason then seems to be the sudden appearance of this now more than 5000 square kilometres large lake in the middle of a former dessert. The extremely poor water management in south Turkmenistan where water is diverted to a canal was obviously not enough. The tiny residuals should by all means be hindered to reach the Aral Sea by creating this lake. 213.204.219.122 (talk) 06:30, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
