READING COMPREHENSION
In 2009 in Kazakhstan, a group of fishermen met on a Sunday afternoon. They were on the beach of the North Aral Sea. They ate
food. They did some sports. Afterwards, they told stories and sang songs about the Aral Sea and fishing. It was a good party.
The fishermen were happy because there were fish in the water. For many years, there weren’t many fish. At one time, the Aral Sea in
Central Asia was the fourth largest lake in the world. It had an area of 67,300 square kilometres. Two of the biggest rivers in Central
Asia, the Amu Darya and the Syr Darya, went into the Aral Sea. But the water almost disappeared.
The Aral Sea was a busy place. Almost 20 percent of the Soviet Union’s fish came from here. 40,000 people lived and worked near
the lake. Then people used the water in the two rivers for agriculture, so the water didn’t arrive at the Aral Sea. Also, it didn’t rain for many
years.
Then, in 2005, the Kazakh government and the World Bank built a dam. The dam separated the north and south parts of the sea. Then
the north part of the Aral Sea started to fill with water again.
Philip Micklin is a scientist. He studies the Aral Sea. In 2010 he said ‘Nature can come back.’ But in 2014, he saw satellite pictures of
the east part of the Aral Sea. It was completely dry.
In June 2015 a scientist from Uzbekistan, Yusup Kamalov, and a National Geographic reporter visited the Aral Sea. They found a
huge desert. They stood on the sand. Once it was the edge of the water. Now the water is 80 kilometres away. They drove to the water. On the
way, they passed oil and natural gas rigs. Kamalov said that every year there are more oil rigs. They arrived at the edge of the Aral Sea. The
water was very salty. There were no fish. Kamalov said, ‘This is what the end of the world looks like’.
