Aral Sea - Where Has the Water Gone?From the Desert to the Icy Heights
53 min
Available from 01/04/2025
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.
