The waters of the Syr Darya and Amu Darya rivers, which historically flowed into the Aral Sea, were largely diverted for irrigation purposes, primarily to support cotton production in the surrounding regions, particularly in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan. This extensive diversion for agricultural development led to a significant reduction in the inflow to the Aral Sea, contributing to its dramatic shrinkage and environmental degradation. The unsustainable water management practices have had profound ecological and social consequences for the region.
the Amu darya and the Syr darya rivers flow into the Aral sea
The Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers mainly supply the Aral Sea.
Syr Darya Amu Darya
The northern border of Afghanistan is the Amu Darya Riveralso called Oxus and Amu River.
The Syr Darya River originates in the Tian Shan mountains in Kyrgyzstan, while the Amu Darya River begins in the Pamir Mountains in Tajikistan. Both rivers flow through Central Asia, with the Syr Darya moving northwest through Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, and the Amu Darya flowing southwest through Tajikistan and Uzbekistan before eventually draining into the Aral Sea.
Three major rivers in Central Asia are the Amu Darya, the Syr Darya, and the Ili River. The Amu Darya flows through Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, while the Syr Darya traverses Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. The Ili River primarily flows through China and Kazakhstan, feeding into Lake Balkhash. These rivers are crucial for agriculture, water supply, and hydroelectric power in the region.
