“…The total mass of salts contained in the Aral Sea is estimated to be about 6 9 10 9 metric tons, which would result in a salt layer of at least 0.5 m thickness covering the entire Aralkum (Létolle et al 2005). The store of the latter in the aeration zone of the ground is 2,200 tons ha -1 (Orlovsky and Orlovsky 2001). For many decades, the Aral Sea has been a sink for the particulate and dissolved matter transported by the Amudarya and Syrdarya rivers.…”

“…The lake has progressively shrunk due to a lack of recharge by the rivers and high evaporation during summer time. By 1999, the lake level had dropped by 18 m, down to the mark of 33.8.m MSL (Orlovsky and Orlovsky, 2001). Following the division of the Aral Sea in 2005, the salinity level in the Large Aral increased by as much as 90 g/l (western part, depth 21 m) and 160 g/l (eastern part, depth 28.3 m), while in the Small Aral, it decreased and reached 17 g/l (Aladin et al, 2009).…”

“…The expansion of irrigated fields resulted in a drastic reduction of the water volume discharged into the lake. In 1960, the water flow from the Amudarya and Syrdarya Rivers, which represented the major input for the Aral Sea, varied from 56 Â 10 9 m 3 /year to 60 Â 10 9 m 3 /year (Orlovsky and Orlovsky, 2001); by the mid-1980s, the water flow had almost ceased, and the water volume discharged was 3.5 Â 10 9 m 3 /year (Saiko and Zonn, 2000). By 2007 the water inflow to the Aral Sea was about 5 Â 10 9 m 3 /year À10 Â 10 9 m 3 /year (Dukhovny and Stulina, 2011).…”
