Abstract
The Aral Sea basin covers all of the Republics of Tadjikistan and Uzbekistan, most of the Republics of Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan, as well as the southern part of the Republic of Kazakhstan and northern Afghanistan. The area of the Aral Sea basin is 1,200,000 to 1,300,000 km2. Commonly, ‘The Aral Sea basin’ is understood as ‘the small basin’ encompassing only the basins of the Amu Dar’ya and Syr Dar’ya rivers and the water surface of the Aral Sea.
