1. One of the gravest global environmental
disasters of modern times is the tragedy of the
Aral Sea facing the countries of Central Asia
and their population of about 60 million;
2. Its environmental, climatic, socioeconomic and
humanitarian consequences make it a direct
threat to sustainable development in the region,
and to the health, gene pool and future of the
people living there.

RM: ARAL SEA CATASTROPHE
Background:
1. Until 1960, the Aral Sea was one of the largest closed bodies of
water in the world. It was 426 km long and 284 km wide, with an
area of 68,900 square km, a volume of water of 1,083 cubic km, and
a maximum depth of 68 m.
2. The Aral Sea was among the richest fisheries in the world: 30,000
to 35,000 tonnes of fish were caught annually in the waters of the
Aral Sea region.
3. More than 80 per cent of those living along the Aral Sea shore
were employed in catching, processing and transporting fish
and fish products.
4. The fertile lands of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya deltas and the
rich grazing lands provided employment for more than 100,000
people in livestock rearing, poultry breeding and raising
agricultural crops.

Over the past 50 years, the total outlow from
rivers into the Aral Sea has fallen almost 4.5
times, to an average of 12.7 cubic km.
The area of the sea's surface is ten times
smaller than it was, and the water volume has
decreased by more than a factor of 13.
The water level, which until 1960 had reached
a maximum of 53.4 m, has fallen by 29 m.
Salinity has increased by more than 13 to 25
times and is now 7 to 11 times higher than the
average mineralizaon of the world's oceans

concept that allows multiple risks, shocks and
stresses and their impacts on ecosystems and
vulnerable people to be considered together in
the context of development programming;
2. Resilience also highlights slow drivers of
change that influence systems and the
potential for non-linearity and transformation
processes.
