The Aral Sea has lost approximately 90% of its water volume since the 1960s, primarily due to extensive irrigation projects and overuse of its tributary rivers for agricultural purposes. This drastic reduction has led to severe ecological and economic consequences for the surrounding regions. The shrinking of the sea has transformed it from one of the world's largest lakes into a series of smaller bodies of water, significantly impacting local communities and wildlife.
