No. Formerly, it was the fourth largest lake in the world with an area of 68,000 sq km. The Aral Sea has been shrinking since the 1960s after the rivers that fed it were http://eduportal.uz 161 diverted by Soviet irrigation projects. By 1997, it had declined to 10% of its original size, splitting into four lakes: the North Aral Sea, the eastern and western basins of the once far larger South Aral Sea, and one smaller intermediate lake. By 2009, the southeastern lake had disappeared and the southwestern lake had retreated to a thin strip at the western edge of the former southern sea; in subsequent years, occasional water fl ows have led to the southeastern lake sometimes being replenished to a small degree. Now it is only 8,000 sq km. Satellite images taken by NASA in August 2014 revealed that for the fi rst time in modern history the eastern basin of the Aral Sea had completely dried up. The eastern basin is now called the Aralkum Desert. 2) Is the Amu Darya as long as the Syr Darya? No. The Amu Darya is shorter than the Syr Darya.
