	Aral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aral, also known as Aralsk or Aral'sk, (Kazakh: Арал, Russian: Аральск) 46°46′N 61°43′E is a small city in south-western Kazakhstan, located in the oblast of Qyzylorda.
		Aralsk was formerly a fishing port and harbour city on the banks of the Aral Sea, and was a major supplier of fish to the neighboring region.
		Since the retreat of the Aral Sea since 1960, due to diversion of the rivers flowing into it for irrigation, mainly of cotton, during the Soviet era, Aralsk is now completely landlocked about 100 km from the sea.

	Geography of Kazakhstan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The three largest bodies of water are Lake Balkhash, a partially fresh, partially saline lake in the east, near Almaty, and the Caspian and Aral seas, both of which lie partially within Kazakstan.
		Some 9.4 % of Kazakstan's land is mixed prairie and forest or treeless prairie, primarily in the north or in the basin of the Ural River in the west.
		The most visible damage has been to the Aral Sea, which as recently as the 1970s was larger than any of the Great Lakes of North America save Lake Superior.

	Aral Sea
		The Aral Sea (Kazakh: РђСЂР°Р» РўРµТЈС–Р·С–) is an endorheic inland sea in Central Asia; it lies between Kazakhstan in the north and Karakalpakstan, an autonomous region of Uzbekistan, in the south.
		From 1961 to 1970, the Aral's sea level fell at a mean of 20 cm a year; in the 1970s, the average rate nearly tripled to 50–60 cm per year, and by the 1980s it continued to drop, now with a mean of 80–90 cm each year.
		In 1960, the Aral Sea was the world's fourth-largest lake, with an area of approximately 68,000 kmВІ (about the size of the Republic of Ireland), and a volume of 1100 kmВі; by 1998, it had dropped to 28,687 kmВІ, and eighth-largest.

	Desiccation of the Aral Sea: A Water Management Disaster in the Soviet Union
		The Aral Sea is a huge, shallow, saline body of water located in the deserts of the south-central Soviet Union (Figs.
		As in the past, the cause of the modern recession of the Aral is a marked diminution of inflow from the Syr Dar'ya and Amu Dar'ya, the sea's sole sources of surface water inflow, that has increasingly shifted the water balance toward the negative side (Table 1).
		During planning for a major expansion of irrigation in the Aral Sea basin, conducted in the 1950s and 1960s, it was predicted that this would reduce inflow to the sea and substantially reduce its size.

		The catastrophic condition of this region is a direct consequence of the over-ambitious growth policies that were initiated in the 1950s.
		As a result of this relentless over-exploitation, by the 1980s the flow of these rivers had been so depleted that the former petered out some distance from the Aral Sea, while the latter was reduced to little more than an uncertain trickle in its lower reaches.
		Thus, the drying up of the Aral Sea, until recently a taboo subject, has now acquired such "respectability" that it has become almost an article of dogma that all the woes of the region be ascribed to the influence of this malign phenomenon.

	Kazakstan Environment
		By 1993 the Aral Sea had lost an estimated 60 percent of its volume, in the process breaking into three unconnected segments.
		Evidence suggests that salts, pesticides, and residues of chemical fertilizers are also adversely affecting human life around the former Aral Sea; infant mortality in the region approaches 10 percent, compared with the 1991 national rate of 2.7 percent.
		In 1994 only 23 percent of budgeted funds were actually allotted to environmental programs.

		Two epidemiological studies seem to support this conclusion: one concerning the 1970 outbreak in Meschede Hospital, which involved the importation of smallpox from an endemic country into smallpox-free Germany (see Poland and Henderson); and another a 1971 outbreak in the Aral’sk region of Kazakhstan.
		In 1971, in Aral'sk, a Russian biologist working on a trawler called the Lev Berg in the Aral Sea contracted smallpox.
		At the time, she was in an area that was not friendly to the Soviets, and was not allowed to leave the ship.
