http://www.ecogeek.org/content/view/2757/

From the page: “In a series of dramatic photos, NASA has been able to capture the disappearance of the Aral Sea from space. In the 1960’s Russia diverted water from several major rivers to irrigation projects for growing cotton and other crops. The result has been the complete destruction of what was once the fourth largest inland sea in the world.”
