Kazakhstan's Aral Sea was once the world's fourth largest lake, a rich haven for fish, birds and other wildlife. It was also home to bustling fishing ports such as Aralsk. But starting in the 1960s, massive agricultural expansion saw much of the water from the two rivers that feed the lake diverted into thousands of canals to irrigate crops. This caused the Aral Sea to shrink by 70% and split into two.

respect to Kazakhstan and its people for the work they're doing to restore the sea.

Besides dams, they should make a concerted effort to plant trees in the region like Africa's sub-Saharan Green Wall. More trees, cooler temps, more moisture, more rainfall, besides the organic matter that is created for the soil. Glad to see that Kazakhstan at least is making an effort to revive its portion of the sea. Hopefully the international community will help come up with the remaining 150 million to extend the dam and help elevate the sea's levels even more.
Bla bla bla, you can go first to donate
Very good idea. Cheers and God bless you.
Very inspiring project, we CAN restore what has been destroyed. All it takes is the effort and cooperation of nations. good luck and godspeed. You are an inspiration!
In 1960 was the 4th largest lake in the world. I was born in 1985. On that year Aral Sea was still connected, as it concerns the north part and the south one. It is a shame that within 34 years the Aral Sea fell from being the 6th largest lake in the world, to what a remnant has been left today...
So sad sorry
Love it. Human need natures, natures not need human.
This is just the North Aral. The south aral is still drying up and will be dried up completely in just a few years, because Usbekistan does not change its ineffective, water-wasting, irresponsible irrigation system or does something to increase the water that comes to the lake.
***** lol dictatorships
***** Well... They're far more dependent on the rivers, even with effective systems I doubt they could sustain both
+Mardas Man The problem is that people depend on the water for irrigation, the countries are probably not rich enough to apply more efficient drip irrigation systems, this is a problem all over the world...just look at California...there is not enough water for the cities and the ranches
+2000Betelgeuse // A great deal of that is also due to government interference. There is an agenda: and it is not in favor of the common man.
This is part of what happens when LIBERAL governments are in power. They think you can not live your own life well. So they interfere.
They very nosy people with bone in their brains.
Thanks for bringing back life
Pray God bless us all
In ancient and medieval times, the Aral Sea was called the Sea of Chorasmia (Darya Khwarazm in Persian and Khvalizskoe More in Russian).
Grabe! Sana tlg unti unti maibalik nila..
One of the most satisfying RUclips videos
I'm currently writing an essay based around this situation with the Aral Sea for school. I hope the problem is resolved soon :)
Thomas White oh yeah. Only 100 years
@Jackal lol, I am just writing an essay for school also :DD
Hopefully in our lifetime
Also writing an essay for my university)))
Aral sea sounds beautiful name,hope al Jazeera will follow up the progress
For those who want to learn more about the Aral Sea:
For the past 2+ years, our team have been working on a documentary series exploring the past, present, and future of the Aral Sea.
The trailer has just gone live on our channel! 🙏
Dont care about the stupidy# lake, go and get a real job you idiot, the stupid lake doesnt matter its just a crappy little thing in the middle of nowere that nobod is going to see anyway
This is better then anything RT has done on the subject. Well done.
It was Stalin's idea to divert those rivers. There hasn't been a man in history who single-handedly did as much damage as Stalin.
It wasn't becouse of man... You may count backward the development of the world tech to upto date. This condition was not developed by any technology.. It is pure geological character of the area will meet the solar radiation as this sort of impact in time. It will be hard indeed to renew that area. Irrigating could prevent it's accumulated ionised air but the flux of changes will still take lead in advance.
Man might destroy a mountain... Maybe.. but the mountain has its own way to do so. You could change nothing of the earth... than the earth change you. People could change the other people but the earth.. How come you change it.
pak ketimplung. You stop the water going into a lake it will shrink. It's not hard. It's also easy to make huge reservoirs: prevent the water escaping and it will flood a valley.
Humans regularly dynamite entire mountain tops for coal and iron one mining
Genghis Khan

The will to revive a dying North Aral Sea... salute Kazakhstan!
Big time!!
Nice to see the revival of Aral see
This should be on BBC 1 in UK. It must give hope to other places round the world.
Totally agree
This was published in 2012. As of 2015, the South Aral has completely dried up.
@Wolf Man dont lie , its dried
Wolf Man August 2019
So sad
By 2021, the entire South Aral Sea has dried up
nice to see it's revive, they should do more for aral
I see imposters
PRAISED THE LORD KEEP ARAL SEA ALIVE FOR YOUR ARAL PEOPLES OF KASAKSTAN.
Would it be possible to plant water tolerant trees and mangroves near and around the river to help increase the moisture in the air. Would that help to increase the flow of water into the sea as the trees would increase the rain in the area?
+soulshadoww55 Why don't you go write a 1000 page document on your theories and take it to the head of crazyland, see if your farfetched illusions of grandeur are even conceiveable. *Slap to the back of your head*
soulshadoww55 и я так тоже думаю
Restoring the water into that lake will probably bring back their future...
Good work!
they could release even more water by using new techniques for irrigation, and also use systems to pull water from the air.
The Aral Sea was ALWAYS salty. It was a brackish lake which is a remnant of the Tethys Sea. It shrunk and the salt concentration increased.
Love this video so much.....
I wish i could swim too with kids in Aral Sea..
Me too so sorry, one day we will I hope! Wishing you the best from USA
Welcome, folks! I am the guy who is driving a SUV in this documentary. I can take u there)
Congratulations to the restorers. Its a spot of hope in the usual dismal environmental scene.

Good fishing in Kazakhstan!
Amazing video!
Great success!
9 years latter is it recovering the north and the south part of the sea?
If they want silver carp, just rent a passenger jet and fill it with silver carp from the Illinois river. Give them just enough to survive the 15 hour flight to there, and dump them and they'll thrive.
lake victoria is closer. but they want weapons in exchange.
Insane so stupid how about we dry up the illinois river or your great lakes for a non food crop...... thats what happened here , how about we grow opium poppies across the great lakes for chicagos heroin demand and human greed ..... why dont we drain the pacific to make plastic toys.......... stupidity has no limits
Nice 👍🏼
the river Nile has the same problem. Due to the agriculture, the water is used so that is can t reach the Mediteranean sea and the delta will be destroyed little by little. Unfortunately we can t have all nature, food etc
Insane so sad 😢
Dam caused this
Agree. Cut down cotton plantation in drier climates
The photo at 1.40 is that jackie Chan when he was a lad
1:40
I wish i could go and help in some way...anyways, bravo guys..keep up the good work
Absolutely, Truly an Evil man..Not only did he destroy the Aral sea, he also destroyed all those who etched a living from it, he destroyed those who lived by the Aral sea, and he also destroyed all life in the sea.
Its 2018 now... Any update?
These guys need to contact the US and make arrangements to have the Asian carp in the rivers of the Midwest transported here
Can you go back and see how rhe sea is now?
i really hope that regulations should be set in place at the same time, without causing loss of livelihood for the people. on the other hand, people should be educated with how the lake works by providing talks and seminars to ensure their full cooperation. more research about approaches should also be done to make sure the water should be circulated well within the north and south aral seas. hope the lengths the world bank came to only to develop these places wouldn't go to waste and hope there will still be more water.
Aral Sea Flurish & Grow...2018-19 !!! Ocean Flow !!!
I had to watch this for online school lol. Like if ur also here from school.
instead of running behind cotton crops they should have taken care of
the sea and should have taken the benefits from it, fishing and other
things would have helped them more than cotton crop, they should again
let the rivers flow towards the aral sea and let it come back to life..
Definitely, yeah. Tourism, fishing, a recovering ecosystem with growing diversity and resilience; probably a moderating effect on the regional climate; all those and more would have been benefits to be had from prioritizing a recovery of the Aral Sea. Instead they chose short-term profits, so now most of the region will continue to descend into being a lifeless, toxic, unproductive desert.
a new hope!
Awesome
What is the surface of the North little Aral ?
Cotton uses an incredible amount of water. Isn't there a crop somewhere on Earth that provides a much larger amount of fiber and uses much less water?
We need to stop irrigation projects for cotton. Not helping the environment. Unless u grow them in Mississippi Delta or lower Indus and Nile
There is: a hemp. I don't know about the amount of fiber, but 45% cotton and 55% hemp makes nice textile which is more resistant especially during laundry. Pure hemp textile is also good for light summer clothes. The only real issue is shrinkage in dryer which is a wastage of resources anyway.
Sad that they cant get enough water in to work on the entire sea but hopfully that will come with time....
They can have some of australias feral carp, we’re overrun. But seriously its great the sea is refilling.
So how is the Northern Aral Sea today?
Anyone else end up here after the Louder Than Words video by Pink Floyd? Really touching visuals and sad what happened there.
wat about amu darya...where does it discharge?its such a huge river so that aral sea of uzbek could not get dried up...where does that water go?
into irrigation of cotton farms! on amu daria valley and karakum canal
Hahahaha yes to grow cotton in the desert planned by idiots
As we used to do with nature, now nature is using us alone. My call to the governments of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan to save this sea of money.
This is just too sad.Shame on me,I was ignorant of the fact that there's no more Aral sea😥😥😥Until today when I saw world map that made me curious about this lake.
It used to "sea".
Cant it possible to pure water from Caspian sea to the aral see via pipeline?. 🤔
So they are taking steps to revive the small northern portion that split from the sea circa 1989-90, but unless more steps are taken to restore the much larger lower lobes of Aral, they are shit out of luck. But like he said, lesser of two evils.
don't underestimate the power of a good example...if the southern Aral people see the water returning it may be the needed catalyst for them to change as well
@@richardvsassoon5144 Lets hope!!!!
Kazakhstan government is struggling to recover the north aral sea, so they are thinking to build another 8 kilometres long dam Between sry dariya delta, so this project will help flow the river water direct to north aral sea.
Because of this project north aral sea will gain 42 meters of water, and aral city will be back as their old port city when its used to be in back 1960s. But the 2nd dam construction has ben stopped because of this corona pendamic situation.
So they need your help to regain the full north aral sea.
Plz help them
❤️❤️❤️
For the first time in millions of years lake disappeared thanks to human expansion and greed to own Nature, total irresponsible specie we are, and extreme drought in last 4 years lead to complete disappearance of South Aral Sea , very sad, hearth breaking, and if is the Money that can save we have richer and richer people everything else is going down to hell, what society we are living in celebrating Rich that do care about anything except them self, we have great chance to become same as Mars, how much more evidence we need to make changes...
Agree insane disgusting
Same guy and same photo from another video I watched on this. I guess he's the only guy that lives there, lol.
a good lesson indeed!
planting in a dry area is a good idea.
The kids whom was watching pics for them it will be a past inshallah
Good post. Thank you. The problem is, as I see it, too many people needing too many resources. We need to stop having so many kids.
No we need to stop wasting water growing non food crops in the desert. Sure we can drain lake baikal to grow opium in the desert, sure we can dry the pacific ocean to use as factories..... but it is insanely stupid
шосыламыз дей ма 😂😂😂😜😊😌
шомыламыз
i karakalpakstan and kazakhstan
The Kazakhs are saving what the Soviets capitulated
capitulate means to surrender. what are you talking about?
@@watchgoose ok what the soviets completely botched in a totally stupid retarded plan to grow cotton , a non food crop in the desert. Kind of like the stupidity of making fun of a second language learner on the internet , i know hard to imagine.....
Ikan siakap ooo byk
is it a sea or a lake
if the aral sea is fully owned by kazakh....then problems like this wouldn't happen...
This doesn't change anything beacause water comes from rivesrs, so for filling this sea you have to own Amudarya and Syrdarya. Because there a lot of dams in Tadjikistan and Kyrgizistan, in addition, there are a lot of fields in Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. So it's the problem of Central Asia not Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
I think, if there are irrigation canals from the Syrdarja and Amudarja rivers and used intensively to irrigate cotton and other crops, the Aral Sea cannot be saved.
Hopefully its not too late
Interesting to note that the hydraulic controls are made in China
dontall71 Because is cheaper.
and because China is closer. they have railroads between so it is cheaper in every way
Hahaha
❤❤❤
"Many fish are returning to the river"
Shows horse
That used to be a fish before the sea dried up
There is a lesson to be learned here somehow, but I am Not sure exactly what that lesson is.... But a very interesting upload. So thanks people.
Copulation, Population, Pollution ? ? !
Well, like the man Said, at least they're gonna get the NORTH Aral sea back.
And who knows, when all the ice sheets have melted they might,one day, have MORE than enough. Nothing lasts forever, but LOVE one another anyway. = )
The lesson I learned was said by one of the locals about how all of the planners were in Moscow, and they weren't interested in what we had to say.
2:21 ... anyone know the name of the music that starts around this mark?
I wonder what this place looks like years later.
I will tell you - the sea is dried, the reminiscent tinny portion of water extremely polluted, smelly and with foam on its surface.
Connect the river to all parts of sea
Uzbekistan refuses to give it up using the Amu Darya, as they are too poor.
The North Aral Sea is only partly refilled, as the announcer said, "the North Aral is 50% higher than it was at its 'lowest' point". Hmmm. That isn't high enough. And of course the South Aral Sea is on its path to complete dry up. So this video reveals very sad news. A great big thanks goes to Russia (USSR), who could now be approached about current wasteful watering methods and perhaps sending a share of the water down to the Aral Sea, where it belongs.
in America , we can't give those big head carp away.
What's the status in 2021?
The North keeps getting its volume back but the unfortunately the east south aral ( the main portion of the south Aral Sea ) has completely dried up leaving only the west south Aral Sea , which unfortunately in a dew years , or even a decade , it will be completely dried up .
Still we have North, West and East Aral
Those politician of today must see these places. No wonder climate change is inevitable
So they let the water 💦 flow back ? Easy fix
the asian carp isnt from the aral sea but it reproduces fast,
Heres an idea.......why not just re-connect the rivers that were cut off , just how nature designed it
No tree or shrub at all...

Couldn't that guy put the fish in water nicely? Would you want be thrown down from somewhere? Then why do it to fish?
I hope the other countries will learn from it. Like my country Pakistan 🇵🇰. We have also extrem shortage of drinking water. Thow we have 5 big revers and Arabian See. But politicians did nothing in last 40 years for it. They did so much. But just for corruption and to full fill there pockets. And now my generation should face it.
You guys have better solution blame India for any problem aur yahood ki sajis 😂😂😂😂😂
So true human greed is world wide and only idiots believe in countries and governments
If your going to tinker with a machine you know nothing about, at least keep all the pieces.
Now is the time to mine the salt.
Hahahhaha it is toxic thanks to fertilizer and pesticide residue from said farming, everyone is leaving the area , super high rates of cancer due to human stupidity. No opportunity from that
At least you have free salt
