Will The Caspian Sea Repeat The Fate Of The Aral Sea?

I doubt that Caspian sea is too vast to become aral sea

[@JayYoung-ro3vu]

We can NEVER assume.

[@serebii666]

Even the entire Mediterranean Sea dried up 6 million years ago. And it does not need to dry up completely for catastrophic consequences.

[@toddberkely6791]

it would "only" take 5000 years to fully dry out at the current rate, which is about 20cm/year.

[@JayYoung-ro3vu]

@@toddberkely6791 Did you factor in reduced rainfall in the watershed? It would reduce inflow. Evaporation would get faster as the atmosphere heats up.

[@toddberkely6791]

@@JayYoung-ro3vu i said current rate lol. but yes i imagine climate change will reduce water inflow into the caspian by a lot and speed up shrinking

Of course, everything will dry up and then another ice age, and everything will start over again.
