The diversion of rivers flowing into the Aral Sea and the subsequent use of water for irrigation had a devastating impact on the sea's ecosystem. The sea began to shrink rapidly, resulting in severe environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, and the decline of fishing industries that relied on the sea. It also led to increased desertification and dust storms, causing health problems for nearby populations.
