The book is structured into six core parts. The first part sets the
scene and explains how the use of Aral basin water resources,
primarily used for irrigation, have destroyed the Aral Sea. The
team explains how spheres and events interact and the related
problems. Part 2 examines the social consequences of the ecological
catastrophe and the affect of the Aral Sea desiccation on cultural
and economic conditions of near Aral region. Part 3 explores the
scientific causes of the destruction using detailed analyses and
data plus some of their own research spanning aquatic biology,
terrestrial biology, hydrology, water management and biodiversity.
They also share some of the latest archaeological discoveries and
paleobotanical analysis to delineate past levels and
characteristics of the Aral Sea. There is particular focus on
modern remote sensing and GIS techniques and how they can monitor
the Aral Sea and the environment. Part 4 discusses regional and
international initiatives to mitigate human and ecological problems
of the Aral Sea and the wider political and economic consequences.
With thorough insight of the total environment cost, the final
chapters of the book will provide lessons for the future. There are
insightful case studies throughout. Multidisciplinary by nature,
all titles in our new reference book series will explore
significant changes within the Earth's ecosystems and to some
extent, and will tackle ways to think about our changing
environment.
