    The disappearance of the Aral Sea in Central Asia is one of the world's greatest man-made disasters. In Kazakhstan, with the help of the World Bank, more than $80million have been spent trying to save the most northern part of the sea but this has only benefited a few hundred people. In this film, we speak to people still living in deserted fishing ports, to see how their lives have changed, and to find out whether they believe that they'll ever see the sea again.

      I read that building a channel that would divert a small portion of Ob river water to Aral sea in order to completely refill it would cost around 30 billion dollars. For thirty billion one time investment we could save it. That’s like 5-10% of annual military budget of United States. Humans are disgusting aren’t they?

    I live in the southern part of the Aral Sea (Karakalpakistan, Nukus) and it seems the sea covered half of the country, somewhere in 1-2 km from our house there is a huge open area and a large ship .

      If you want to recover Southern Aral Sea (which is the driest part of Aral Sea now), you have to destroy the dams along Amu Darya that divert the water from that river to water the cotton fields in Uzbekistan? Are you ready to face the people anger since their cotton business are disturbed? Also, they must be reject it since cotton is one of the currently highest Uzbekistani commodity.

But sure, keep acting and talking as if "Communist China" is destroying the environment.

    I was playing a game with a map of the world during WW2 and a saw this sea to the east of the Caspian Sea so I went to check it out. I almost couldn’t find it in google maps and I thought the developers had been lazy about an often overlooked part of the world, but now I’ve come to learn, it did used to look like that. Wow. I am blown away how quickly it has dried out.

    Now the average everyday temperature has risen to 35 degrees celcius.Even during the night we're sweating here.
    I think the next 36 years the temperature will rise to be more than 40 degrees celcius.

    I read about an immortal man who was traveling the world for many centuries. One day he arrived to a big city with a huge population he stayed for a night then left, after 1000 years he returned and found the city in ruins and Abandoned ! Two men were walking near the ruins he asked them what happened to the city that was here ? They said we don’t know what you are talking about, there was no city here or anything, this place been like this since the dawn of age. The man left and returned after another 1000 years and found the ruined city became a big lake ! The were some people fishing, he asked them when did this place become a lake, i remember it was a destroyed city?
    They said we don’t know what you’re talking about but this lake been here since the dawn of time. He left and returned after 1000 years and found the lake is gone and in its place a big populated city
