- Once considered beyond saving, the Aral Sea is now brimming with life. The water body, located between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, was earlier the fourth-largest lake in the world. Its desertification, once considered one of the planet's worst environmental disasters, has now become an inspiring tale of revival.

The lake is not restored at all, only the tiny north part (3300 km2) which is just 5% of the original surface area of the Aral Sea (68 000 km2). The rest of the former lake is now the Aralkum desert.
The entire inflow in the south is used up by uzbeki irrigation so the Amu Darya river disappears before it reaches the former lake.
I also wondered, if that lady talks about some other Lake Aral ... an "inspiring tale of revival" ... is she on drugs or is this some kind of alternative news?
Journeys start with a first step
Cheap Uzbek cotton funds the corrupt Uzbek regime.
@@anibaldamiaolol, but they didn‘t solve any of the underlying issues here, they just decided to save the tiny northern part by cutting off water to the south. Which means there won‘t be any second step…
The irrigation canals are getting modernized, thats the whole point. They want to fix the problem too, but they cant just stop using the canals, as their agricultural sector would suffer. This was the progress is really slow, but its still progress
Wonderful news. But now, how about refilling the southern part of the lake - the larger deeper part of the lake.
You just have to make Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan give up their lucrative cotton industry, which uses up almost all the water that was previously flowing into the Aral Sea for irrigation …
💯 . It's not as if the world needs so much cotton, there's more than enough.
I@@negergreger666 If they converted to permaculture they could restore the watershed while reaping the profits of a diversified agricultural output. Sadly, this won't happen if the cotton industry remains as prevalent and influential.
@@negergreger666 considering the biggest issue is the horrible quality of the irrigation canals, it is possible that the international community will fund, in the future, a restoration and rationalization of the network. But it will take quite a long time, I suspect.
@@negergreger666As far as I know Kazakhstan gave up on Sir Darya cotton years ago, Uzbekistan on the other side ...
Mis-pronounced Kazakhstan.
Made it sound as if the Aral Sea was actually recovering when only a small fraction has marginally improved.
Which part of the northern parts of Aral sea did you misheard?
@@seyiesu923 it's still clickbait. 42% better than almost nothing is still nothing. The lake is not going to recover anytime soon.
Mispronounced Kazakhstan multiple times: hardly made any effort at all. She reads it as if it's Hindi written in the Latin alphabet.
Still waiting on the US to let the colorado river reach mexico like it used to
Don't hold your breath.
It would be sort of appropriate that the river once again delivers it's life saving fluid to the people and lands it's course reached in earlier times, but no, I'll continue breathing and asking why?
@@Alwayswilling -- Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, providing the electricity and recreation for Vegas, has the priority.
@@Alwayswilling It's an expression. Don't hold your breath waiting for the US to do something unselfish - you'll pass out before that happens.
small request: differentiate between "the US" and United States corporations.
It's great, but it's just a fraction of the former Aral
Well hopefully you are rid of the problem, Russian rule.
Now you can bring it back to life without Russian exploitation.
It's a start.
@@loremipsum7ac The size of the lake will be determined by balance between inflow and evaporation, so for Aral Sea to fully recover, all diversions would have to stop, or additional water would have to be bring and possibly stored in it's watershed, but preparing such project would doubtlessly be a very complex task. And there are quite possibly only one or two smaller rivers that can be partially diverted and neither of them can be compared to Syr Darya.
Other option would be messing with rainfall patterns by forestation and so on in Central Asia which would possibly lead to more water being trapped in the region than is now leaving it, but that could cause problems somewhere else.
@@MrToradragon Syr Darya is being improved by Kazakhstan by renovating the canals, making them more efficient, which allows the filling of the north aral sea, so it could allow aral to stabilise at some (much lower than original) level. the bigger problem is that Amu Darya is in a sht state and will likely continue to be so, so if Uzbekistan and other countries in the south won't do anything, the chances that the south aral will just be a very shallow salty lake
I didn't give you a like because you didn't show a proper map of worst condition vs now. You made it sound like the Aral sea is back, but it is really tiny compared to what it once was.
Thriving community
Thriving fishing industry, exporting caviar to the US and elsewhere. Fish cannery providing work.
Aral Sea dried up because Russia diverted the two rivers feeding into it for irrigating cotton crops
No sea, no evaporation.
No evaporation, no condensation.
No condensation, no precipitation.
Desertification!
It's a beginning....
Far from it…
they should do reforestation in the edges of the sea to promote rain fall
Not being familiar with the area, can you please point me at any resource detailing what the region's biome was like *before* man made desertification?
Grasslands
Forests are the result of plentiful rain, not the cause of it.
@@gregb6469 both are related. Trees take water from the ground and through transpiration evaporate it into the atmosphere. The huge amount of rainfall in the Amazon is caused by the forest (the "rainforest").
But here, in a desert, it's a bit different. They are replanting bushing in the delta of the Amou-Daria, to help fix the now unstable soil and lessen the sand storms.
@gregb6469 this is not actually totally accurate. The conditions on the ground play a large part on where and when rain falls, rain also isn't the only way to fill a lake, if the upper watersheds were to emulate the actions of the eurasian beaver who was driven to local extinction 110 years ago (1915) then it will help restore the waterways and bring the rivers and streams, for this they need reforestation.
Where the hell is “Khazakistan”? Last time I looked no such country existed, the presenter clearly knows more than me though…
Google is your friend
That would make it consistent with all its other 'istan' neighbours.
It's Borat''s home .
@@jandrews6254 I guess my sarcasm was lost on you…the point being there is no such country as Khazak-i-stan, it is actually called Kazakstan.
That's how they pronounce it in India, I guess?
Good News of the month ✅
Except it's all spin, just robbing Peter to pay Paul.
A long way to go... just the very smallest start.
Kuh-ZAHK-i-stan ? KAH-zuhk-stan gas only 3:syllables
"Gas only" really I thought she was talking about a fresh water lake
@stevenstart8728 Tee-Hee, *has only*. My best jokes are the unintentional ones
Well this is a relief!❤
A good start
Its Kazakhstan not Kazakhistan
Aral sea revive rapidly through black sea to Caspian sea and finally to Aral sea. Russia Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan make treaty and sign for conservation of Aral sea.
Amazing news 😊
It's good but so far I know the water diversion dams are still remain for cotton cultivation. Then how the lake will be restored? Human should understand that if they disturb nature, nature will perish them. Request to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan authorities to open the rivers Amu and Shir to flow in full to Aral sea. Love from Bangladesh to both the countries.
A valuable request to Bangladesh would be: stop floating the world with useless children. Human should understand how they destroy nature, right?
Good luck and thanks in advance ✌️
Wtf is khazakistan? Does she know shes saying it wrong or are people trolling her by not telling her...
I would like to know how much currently remains in comparison to the original size. I mean, doubling a very small portion would assumably still result in a small portion.
About 5% remains. The southern part is a desert.
Happy to see it's reborn happy for the people whose livelihood is fishing in that see happy even though it will do no good for me because I'm in the Philippines
one of the biggest damages of soviets to the environment 😢
Well this is a relief
The Soviet decision to grow cotton, a crop which requires a lot of water, in a region that get very little rain, was very stupid.
progress is progress
One wonders with the partial opening and upcoming completion of the canal in northern Afghanistan by the Taliban will the water diversion dry up the Aral Sea again?
Will the canal be taking water from either of the two rivers which feed (or fed) the Aral Sea?
well, it certainly won't help the case of already fked up Amu Darya. It barely reaches aral at all, and seemingly nothing is done by anybody to allow it to have moe water
Khazakistan?
Not all is lost.
Nice!!,
Well.......good!
This is wonderful ❤
She's a new news presenter right?😅 She has a more neutral accent😊
Great news!
Any return is good news.
Well, as there is not much any water, the doubling is easy.
Very good news !
you have also to report about lake Haromaya in eastern Oromia ,Ethiopia
Did it experience a decline too?
All images are old or very old, not a single one showing how the Northern Aral Sea looks today or in the last 12 months.
Great news! Its Kazakhstan though, not Kazakistan.
Soviet catastrophe left for the Kazakh people to fix. Congratulations!
When you stop accepting environmental disaster as a marginal cost of the cotton trade: good things can happen.
Can sea see sea, if its not sea itself?
Despite men, Earth has been healling itself for ages!
Soviet russians and communist chinese have caused environmental catastrophes so many times.
Along with the US
As per history carbon emission caused Fatherless american caused gobel warning 😂
@@sdsksmithHow did USA destroy the Aral Sea? 🤔
Cotton never again.
I love how confidently she adds letters to KazakhIIIIstan 😂
Well I hope your reporting is correct. I will need more confirmation on the validity of your reporting, I've learned my lesson on that.
A channel with almost 10M subscribers and the backing of an international media corporation yet they don't know how to insulate their studio from their offices noise? What;s with the coughing and brouhaha in the background of your videos? Most amateur channel on YT do a better job!
and how to just cut the end of audio
Why do you pronounce it kasakistan?
It's not climate change is that the water was distributed to other areas think about it please
It’s kazakstan not kazakistan. Get it right
I was wondering what is that weird accent, then realized this is an Indian channel. No wonder
Not weird to Indians. Just weird to you.
Double hardly anything and you still have way too little and the efforts are limited to the north side. Uzbekistan does nothing.The sea ist still only a quarter of its former size.
Khazakstan, NOT KhazakIstan
The raiders need a quarterback
Tbey have managed to improve a small fraction if tbe aral sea.
They gad ti make a tough decision as without action tbe aral sea woyld have disappeared.
‘Ka-zak-as-stan’😂. Borat would be proud!
They should stop unnecessary farming which started during USSR, it’s large waste of water not allowing river to get to the Aral Sea.
The woman is trying hard to hide her Indian accent!😂😂😂😂
Rather unusual... Often you don't understand anything, except who you are dealing with 🤔🙉🙉🙈
BFT that means Bout Fu22ing Time. We can use some good news somewhere of this planet.
What the hell is Kazakistan? Learn the name of the country you are talking about
But double nothing is still nothing
*sea
The report is manufactured to keep foreign funding.
Good news for now. But in a few years people will expand their farms and grow more cotton then we will be back to where we started.
Better to plant trees in those empty space now
Maybe not
Main problem is Uzbekistan growing cotton and using too much water
Kazakhstan have saved this bit by isolating.
Kazakhstan is more environmentally friendly than Uzbekistan
No. People restored that water, not God
Cut her some slack. English is obviously not her first language and it's her accent that causes her to pronounce Kazakhstan as Kazakhistan.
And she's beautiful, you simply can't have everything... 😇😴
Learn how to pronounce Kazakhstan. Goodness.
Keep peeing everyone
She can't even pronounce the country names!
Hahahaha "Kazakhistan"
💦👍
Just a note to the wok :- soviets were lefties
And Nazis are righties.
La Russia e' grande ed impareggiabile!!!❤
LOL
This is Kazakhstan, not Russia
@@thiagoleobons390 No, it's Kazakh i stan.
Someone needs to teach the work experience girl how to speak properly 😂
