The Aral Sea, located on the border of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, was once the fourth largest lake in the world. This Timelapse shows how water levels here have gradually decreased. In the 1960s, the rivers that fed the Aral were diverted to irrigate newly created cotton fields in the adjacent Kyzylkum Desert. By 1997, water volume had declined to 10% of its original size, and recent satellite images show its entire eastern basin dried up. 45.510578°, 58.757118° Source imagery: NASA / Google Tim

The Aral Sea’s decline over the last 40 years can be traced clearly through satellite records. In the early 1980s, it was a major inland lake fed by two long rivers, the Amu Darya and Syr Darya. As large irrigation systems expanded across Central Asia, much of the rivers’ flow was redirected to support cotton fields. With less water entering the basin each year, the lake began to shrink. Through the late 1980s and 1990s, the water level dropped enough for the sea to split into separate northern
