- The health of animals and people in the areas have been negatively affected.
- Long history of natural cycles of drying up and re-establishing bodies of water.
- Political issues are encountered when trying to deal with the environmental problems. Issues concerning the Salton Sea need to be addressed by the United States and Mexico. Aral Sea issues need to be addressed by five independent Asian countries; Uzbekistan, Kazakstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kirghizstan.
- We have a good supply of space shuttle images of both regions.
- Except for scale, the regions are very similar. The environmental problems of the Aral Sea are more advanced than those of the Salton Sea. If the environmental issues surrounding the Salton Sea are not dealt with, it will advance to a similar state to that of the present Aral Sea.
