Inland sea disappears

Thanks to NASA you can see the effect that man has on the environment. Below is a photo of the Aral sea - the word's 4th largest inland sea. Rivers were diverted, dams were added to irrigate cotton farms etc. As a result, towns that lined the shores of the sea and derived their economy from fishing are now abandoned. Sometimes it takes a view from space to see just how fragile our planet is and what impact we are having on this planet.
