Description

The Aral Sea Basin, which is located in the central Asian part of the former Soviet Union, is undergoing dramatically rapid and intense environmental change.

Pervasive human misuse and overuse of its water, land, and other critical natural resources have led to severe degradation of key ecological systems.

This book analyses the environmental, human and economic problems that have arisen and presents recommendations for future research needs.

Primary focus is on the drying of the Aral Sea, but related issues of diminished river flow, land and water pollution, and degradation, ecosystem deterioration, and adverse effects on humans are also examined.
