The Aral sea is an inland sea in Asia, partially in Kazakhstan and partially in Uzbekistan. However, at it current rate of desertification, it is unlikely that it will be an inland sea for many more decades. This has largely occurred because so many of the rivers which used to flow to the sea have been diverted for irrigation.

The Colorado River does not flow into an inland sea, therefore it has a much smaller impact as it is diverted for irrigation purposes. Whereas the Aral sea has been caused to retreat substantially due to the river diversion away from the sea
