Aral Sea Before and After:Fifty years ago the water disappeared from the shores of the Aral Sea, leaving behind it an ecological and economic wasteland plagued by toxic dust storms.

Before long, water could once again flow into the harbour at Aralsk, the former centre of a thriving fishing industry.
