This is what is left of the Aral Sea, taken in 1973, 1999 and 2009.
Recently I've read what is happening in rapidly industrialising third world nations where the water needs of manufacturing are sucking away the water the people living there need.
Here, we see how tapping the water running into the Aral Sea has left it with a drought so large that geography has been obliterated, leaving contaminated small stretches of water.
This should never have been allowed to have happened.
