The old port. sent on January 17, 2024 (0:02) by Claudio Sciarra. 35 comments, 1267 views.

Il lago di Aral come molti sanno era uno dei laghi più grandi al mondo. In realtà però era un mare, perché era salato. Tanto pesce di mare, e tanti benefici economici. L'industria di trasformazione del pesce, era fiorente e permetteva all'Usbekistan, di esportarlo in moltissimi paesi. Ora al posto di tutto questo ci sono centinaia e centinaia di chilometri di un deserto assurdo, che sconcerta. Lo so perché li ho percorsi per vedere l'ultima pozzanghera piena di veleni che rimane. Negli anni 60 l'Urss cominciò a coltivare riso e cotone in condizioni del lavoro simili a quelle degli schiavi d'America. I cittadini venivano prelevati e costretti al lavoro coatto per mesi. Cominciarono a spargere veleni di tutti i tipi che andavano nei fiumi anche alimentavano il mare. Poi a deviarli fino a provocarne il disastro che ho potuto vedere. Il brutto è che anche oggi si trovasse un accordo per ridargli l'acqua dei fiumi non si potrebbe perché nel frattempo, gli argini sono stati costruiti, E ci abita molta gente. Il mare non tornerà.

That's what greed for gains leads to, only irretrievable disasters. Great description

An emblematic photo that instantly shows us a crazy reality born of the last fifty-sixty years: the drying up of the Aral Sea due to the diversion of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers by the Soviet Union to irrigate the cotton fields, to which have been added climate change and unsustainable agricultural practices, hence the excessive evaporation, the increase in salinity, the death of fish fauna and the spread of toxic dust. : your photo is beautiful and sad; The information you put in the note is interesting: congratulations.
