Aral Sea - Where Has the Water Gone?From the Desert to the Icy Heights

53 min

Available until 30/05/2025

In just a few decades, the vast Aral Sea has almost entirely disappeared. In this first episode, French writer and traveller Cédric Gras follows the course of the Amu Darya River, from the dry plains of Uzbekistan to the peaks of Tajikistan. Through intensive farming, dams, and irrigation canals, the rivers that once flowed through Central Asia have dried up.
