Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The world's fourth largest freshwater lake is the Aral Sea, located in the former Soviet Union, specifically between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Over the years, the lake has been greatly decreased in size, by almost 75%, due to the diversion of its feeder rivers for irrigation purposes in the surrounding agricultural areas. This has caused major environmental and public health issues, including the drying up of the lake bed and the release of toxic dust and chemicals into the air.
