One of the 20th century's greatest ecological disaster has been partially reversed, according to a report, claiming that water potential than again, part of the waters of the Aral Sea.
Recovery plan, the team behind the statement, the Aral Sea, the sea level in central northern region increased by 30%, 3 years, have been built dikes and repair leaking irrigation channels. Therefore, the water flow down the Syr Daria River into the sea has increased.

Now, the salty water, air drying decreased, but only contains a single species of fish, 15 different types of hosts and more fish, birds, reptiles and plants, in a report that the Government of Kazakhstan .
Fishing has also been revitalized, and the second phase of the plan to restore and improve the pasture grazing.
"In return the North Aral Sea shows that man-made disasters, at least in part, reversed, food production depends on good management of scarce water resources and environment, said:" World Bank president Robert B Zoellick issued a statement through the government.
The Aral Sea has become internationally known example of environmental mismanagement, when the Soviet Government has decided, after 50 years of the 20th century big gains in license irrigation from the two rivers feeding the sea of cotton and rice.
As the water level dropped to 30 meters depth, 53 and 100 km of shoreline retreat, resulting in most of the salt remaining wildlife.
Rescue plan, funded by the Government of Kazakhstan and the World Bank, agreed in 2001 and 13-km long embankment was completed in 2005. Now the water level has risen to 4200 north of the dam, the surface area increased more significantly thanks shallow coastline, from 2550 to 3300 square kilometers.
"Although the current level of different species has not yet reached the level before the 50s, this is the same period last year, the spokesman said.
However, the program saves only a small part of the sea and Zeng Jing is the world's fourth - a new earth Biaomianmianji less than half of the total sea in 1960, with some of the southern part of the course is still identified some areas of research are not saved.
Practical problems remain: for example, stay in the port of Aralsk more than 25 km of coastline.
