Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The Aral Sea Basin, which is located in the central Asian part of
the former Soviet Union, is undergoing dramatically rapid and
intense environmental change. Pervasive human misuse and overuse of
its water, land, and other critical natural resources have led to
severe degradation of key ecological systems. This book analyses
the environmental, human and economic problems that have arisen and
presents recommendations for future research needs. Primary focus
is on the drying of the Aral Sea, but related issues of diminished
river flow, land and water pollution, and degradation, ecosystem
deterioration, and adverse effects on humans are also examined.
