WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF ARAL PAN IN SCIENCE?
Aral Pan, also known as an aral sea or pan, plays an important role in science as a natural laboratory for studying the impacts of human activities on freshwater ecosystems. The shrinking of the Aral Sea due to water diversion projects and agricultural practices provides insights into environmental degradation, climate change, and ecosystem dynamics. Scientists study the Aral Pan to understand how to mitigate and adapt to similar environmental challenges worldwide.

What does the salton and the aral seas have in common?
Recent major environmental changes that were caused by humans.Potential dangers from military toxins/wastes.Loss of fisheries due to human-caused environmental changes.Sea water that is polluted by sewage, pesticides, defoliants, selenium (SS), agent orange (AS), and DDE (SS).Salinity at near-fatal (SS) or fatal (AS) level for sea-living organisms.Salinity levels that are still on the rise.Major source of airborne particles (dust) for their respective regions.Cotton growing regions.Closed systems, with no outlet except for evaporation.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.
What are the lessons to be learned from the Aral Sea story?
the interdependence between humanity and nature, and the consequences of disregarding the environment in pursuit of progress; and (2) the trans-national nature of environmental problems, and the need to cooperate across borders to prevent and reduce the impact of environmental disasters
Are there any hopes for the Aral sea?
It just depends on global warming as it is shrinking by the high temperatures that global warming has caused which means that the Aral Sea will eventually evaporate, so if climate changes and global warming stay low hopefully the Aral sea will be saved.

The is salt and toxins in the soil of the Aral Sea, so every time the wind blows it moves the toxins to the towns nearby. The toxins cause health problems to the humans.
What caused the aral sea to decline in volume and surface area?
Diversion of water of feeder rivers for irrigation projects.
