Where Has All the Water Gone?
The Aral Sea receives water from three sources: the Amu Darya River, the Syr Darya River, and rainfall (precipitation). The sea has no outflow (no rivers which flow out of it), so the only natural water loss comes from evaporation. In 1900 approximately 3 million hectares of land in the area were under cultivation. Before 1960, the level of the Aral Sea was more or less stable. However, in the 1960s when planners decided to increase the area of cotton cultivation, canals were built to redirect water from the rivers and into the fields. As demand for cotton exports increased, more land was used, more water was diverted, and less water flowed into the sea. Between 1960 and 1980, more than 4 million additional hectares of land were put under cultivation, essentially doubling the irrigated territory and the amount of water taken out of the rivers. One of the longest irrigation canals is the Karakum Canal, which goes from the Amu Darya towards the west about 1300 km, into the Karakum Desert.

Correct. And you can't fool me with your edits Tyman.

=========================

So -- Roundballers have until noon Sunday to vote somebody off.

Dang, we were close.

The vote off is a tie between Greybeard and OZoner. I have randomly assigned each of them a number, 1 through 2. Everybody vote again. This time simply send me the number one or the number two. Deadline to vote is 11:59 PM Wednesday. And don't think having everybody agree to vote the same way again will work either. I do have tiebreaks to that in place based upon how the voting goes.

I have found out who voted for me, and they will all be banned if I lose in the runoff.
