-Was once the worlds 4th largest sea ( once 68,000km sq )
- The water level has dropped approximately 23 meters since the onset of its primary sources of water being diverted (Zavialov 2005)
-by 1970, the water loss exceeded the limit of natural water level variation that has occurred in the past.
-In the next decade, water level decreased by 57 cm/year, and afterwards the drop in water level started accelerating faster.
