Explanation:

The Aral Sea is located in Central Asia, and until recently it was a very large water body in the middle of a very dry region. Despite the usage of the term ''sea'', this body of water is actually a lake, just that it has saline water, so it has often been referred to as a sea.

Unfortunately, the Aral Sea has experienced rapid loss of its water levels and at present it is almost entirely dried out. The main reason for this has been the redirection of the water of the rivers that supplied it with water. The water of the rivers have been redirected so that there is enough water for irrigation in the agriculture, especially of the cotton fields.

Having much lower amounts of water flowing in, and being in a very dry region, has resulted that the lake loses more water through evaporation than what it takes in, so its levels have constantly been going down. It seems that very soon, i few years, or maybe only few months, the Aral Sea will be lost forever and on its place there will a tectonic depression covered with layer of salt.
