why dont they just divert the rivers back to the aral sea to refill it
This is not possible. The population of several countries (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan) is growing, the capacity of Amudarya - the main river feeding the Aral Sea is not like it used to be 100 years ago. Even if we remove all the people, block all the irrigation canals, it make take several centuries to refill the Aral Sea..
It's almost the same everywhere. There is way too much population relative to the capacity of the land.

This is one of the worst ecological disasters in the world but it is barely mentioned. The northern Aral sea (part of the original sea) has recovered considerably (thanks to a dam) however the problem is that just too much river water is being used for agriculture (growing cotton). Unless the new countries (which were once Soviet satellite states) cut back on water diversion, the lake has only a very restricted future.
Just wait if there is some oil found here America russia china would come running here 😂
@@rashidhaque7631or they can explore their oil reserve themselves.
Result of ignorance ruling the day. I imagine it would be difficult however I am sure the Sea can be returned. What's a couple of decades to get back what was put there by Nature.
Black sacsol grows in the Western US and Northern Mexico, but here is an invasive species and displaces a lot of the local ecosystem. (it is native to central asia of the world).
Underground Water Reservoirs need to be built in Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 and Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 as the rest of excess released into Aral Sea.
Aral sea will be back😊
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏супер фильм спасибоооо
God bless you..

Where is this?
@@sssun7 The Aral Sea stretches from Uzbekistan north into Kazakhstan, east of the Caspian Sea. It's easy to find on Google Maps.
sounds like infomercial
It was a nice video. At least people are trying to do good. When I was in AA I had a sticker on my mirror and it said, you are now looking at the problem. People are the biggest problem in this world and they have done the best job to destroy it. Love from Australia.
What about californias lake tuluri
Caspian sea water pomp➡️Aral sea
Why not refill it with water again, river already exists there.
Because Amu dariya water is stopped by all countries from where is passes, Kyrgyzstan Kazakhstan afganistan built their Dam and they will not give water
What about Muslim brotherhood ?
that area was never green. it was blue, a sea. dont try to regreen it. try to reblue it!
But where can we get the water to replenish? Hmm...
The water is no longer available and the vegetation helps keep the salts and toxic soil in place.
Green is better than bare desert. The water isn't coming back - it's diverted to support rapidly growing populations nearby. Similarly, in the US places and farms are becoming uninhabitable because more water is being used by sprawling cities and towns. By the time it gets to the farms, it's just a trickle. This is what happens when couples have that 3rd, 4th, 5th kid. The excess children are an extra impact on a world that can no longer bear them. Just yesterday, I came across a comment by someone in the US who boasted having 10 kids. People were commending him. I felt sick. Unsustainable in the US, and even more so in these countries - where having 10 kids isn't so unusual (which is why the excess population from these nations is spilling out all over the world at unsustainable rates).
@@Debbie-henri Clearly you know nothing about how water rights work in the American West. Farms get priority over urban areas because the farmers were there first, and many of those farms are incredibly wasteful with the water they have, doing exactly what Uzbekistan does but on a smaller scale -- growing crops that shouldn't be grown there. They also overpump aquifers which has led to massive land subsidence.
I know of an idea of being a mechanical and physics and back in the old days and when I was a child I would come up with ideas I have an idea that will bring that the arrow seat back and more and it will happen very quick not in a lot of months and years but guess what it will cost about I say 10 million which everybody has except me and the idea will cost to construct does what I what I have in my brain to make that thing work you will see water within a month and recapturing but the reason I say is if I give the idea it would just be taken and you somewhere else I'm not giving it to him the hell with
Why cant they just redivert the water an the sea will come back its when man thinks he is cleaver than nature
They could careless
One day Earth will reckaim whats was earlier, catastrophe happens and then we realise.
Hello
May Allah gaves HIS blessing onto these place. Aamiin

the soviets did it and blamed america
You can't "RE-green something that was not green to begin with. Stop diverting so much of it tributaries flow and start refilling it. It will take years and decades but it should be done.
even the water has fled the Russian dominated, Soviet-inhabited territory. I can understand. Fortunately, the substance, the water molecules are not lost, they found shelter in more worthy, appropriate places on this Planet.
Omg, you are the epitome of being sissy😂😂😂😂 stop your crocodile tears and focus on something else, maybe your life
🤮
Why not set up wind farms and solar farms
For their growing industry right!
