	Arctic to Aral - Siberian Water Saves the Aral Sea
		Since there are no mountain formations or uplands between the Volga and the Aral Basins, a gravity-fed canal can move water from the Volga to the Aral Basin, and a 200 meter wide canal five or more meters deep would be able to move 25 cubic kilometers per year.
		To refill the Aral Sea completely, however, would require building a canal from the Ob river, and this would require costly pumping stations to move the water over the crest that separates the Central Siberian Plain from the Aral Basin.
		But developing the Aral Basin could be an international effort, and nations that might harvest fresh water from the sources of these rivers, whether they be the Syr Darya and Amu Darya, or the Volga, Ob, Irtysh or Yenisy, could participate in investment in the new agricultural and fishing industries in the Aral Basin.
