[BITList] Shipwrecks in the desert

[franka]

Seem to remember there was talk about re-flooding the area

    Have you ever wanted to walk across the bottom of a river, lake or
    ocean to see all the ships that have sunk?  Well....

    The  Aral Sea was once the world's fourth-largest saline body of 
    water. It has been steadily shrinking since the 1960s, after  the
    rivers that fed it were diverted by Soviet Union irrigation 
    projects. And now it's almost gone leaving a desert full of  old
    shipwrecks.

    []

    And it had already been starved of nearly 30yrs of water by 1989

    Really quite unreal, isn't it?

    You just saw the BOTTOM of the once fourth largest salt water sea in
    the world.
