Paul Chambers🚧Starting in 1960, It took man 34 years to turn the third-largest inland sea in the world with an area of 68,000 km2 (26,300 sq mi), the Aral Sea, into a literal dry, polluted desert.

A neighbour of mine was an environmental geographer. She did her research on the Aral Sea in the 80s and 90s. Re-directing water, loading it with poisons and basically killing it off was just one of the many Soviet era catastrophes. Funny thing is we compared notes on what the capitalists have done to water around the world, not a lot of difference.
