The disastrous affects of a large scale water transfer project was demonstrated in the Aral Sea. The diversion of water from the two rivers that fed the Aral Sea for irrigation purposes led to the drying up of the sea, which caused severe environmental and health problems for the local population. The shrinking of the Aral Sea is considered one of the worst man-made environmental disasters in history.
