| Zusammenfassung: | An overview of recent changes in salinity in the surface waters of the Aral sea basin is given. Total dissolved salts (salinity) in most waters are higher than admissible values for drinking water, and ionic composition has changed with time. Salinity of the 'Big Sea' of the Aral was 48 g L super(-1) in 1998, but has decreased to below 21 g L super(-1) in the 'Small Sea' due to the building of a new dam between the two parts of the Aral Sea. |
