It is possible to build two irrigation canals and desalination plants connecting the Volga and Ob rivers in Russia to the Aral Sea...These are both large rivers and would give the Aral Sea the water it needs to recover in maybe 20-25 years...The cost would be about $30-50 billion which is actually not too expensive if you take into consideration the other benefits doing this will provide(lower Caspian Sea, less freshwater in Arctic, better climate in Aral region). To reach this amount of money, government can possibly charge local farmers for using water.
