Aral Sea, located in Central Asia, was once one of the world's largest inland seas. However, due to extensive irrigation projects diverting water from its two main sources, the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers, for agricultural purposes, the Aral Sea has significantly shrunk over the decades. This diversion of water has resulted in severe environmental and ecological problems, including the shrinking of the sea's surface area and the creation of a large desert-like region known as the Aral Sea's "desertification."
