water diversion
are you sure this is the right answer
Yes, I am sure. The Aral Sea has dramatically decreased in size due to water diversion for irrigation purposes, primarily for cotton farming, from the rivers that used to flow into the sea. This has led to the desiccation of the sea and the negative impacts on the surrounding environment and communities.
