    The document summarizes issues related to water management in the Aral Sea region and efforts to address related problems. Specifically: 1) Over-diversion of water from rivers feeding the Aral Sea for irrigation has led to a 50% reduction in the sea's volume and area, increasing salinity and desertification in the region. 2) An EU program brought scientists together to address problems facing the local population, including contaminated drinking water from agricultural runoff and other activities. 3) Research projects were conducted to study hydrological data and use models. Results indicate the feasibility of using groundwater to meet potable water needs in the region.

    AN ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY
    Contaminated drinking water is just one of the damaging side effects of
    mismanagement of the water resources in the Aral Sea region. Fortunately, steps are being
    taken to correct this situation in the framework of cooperation between Europe and the
    independent states bordering the Aral Sea. The Aral Sea located in central Asia was the fourth
    largest inland lake in the world prior to 1960. However, increasing diversion of water from
    the rivers that feed the Aral Sea for irrigation purposes has decreased both its volume and
    surface area by over 50%. The loss of freshwater input has initiated the desertification
    process in the region as the water level retreats and former seabed is exposed. The lake's
    salinity has also experienced a threefold increase, posing a severe threat to the local
    ecosystem. Furthermore, the continental climate, previously moderated by the presence of the
    lake, has become increasingly harsh. In short, the Aral Sea is a multifaceted environmental
    disaster.
    The problem crosses national boundaries as the irrigation occurs far upstream in the Amu
    Darya and Syr Darya rivers. A programme of the European Union, called INTAS, gathered
    scientists from Independent States of the former Soviet Union in this region as well as from
    Europe to address the crisis. One of the many problems the local population is facing is the
    contamination of their drinking water supply. High concentrations of toxic pollutants found
    in water samples likely derived from irrigation runoff, pesticide application and other
    activities related to the intense agricultural activity in the region.
    A number of research projects were designed to cover both measurement and modelling
    needs. Hydrometeorological, hydrological and hydrogeological data were gathered from the
    rivers, local aquifers as well as the Aral Sea itself. Assessment of the situation was aided by
    the use of numerical models. The results of the exercise indicate the feasibility of satisfying
    the region's potable water needs with subsurface sources, i.e. groundwater. Use of
    groundwater is nothing new and frequently implemented in arid regions where quantities of
    high quality surface water are minimal. The comprehensive approach applied during the
    project will help avoid traditional disadvantages associated with groundwater, such as
    subsidence. Future research will answer lingering questions, such as possible contamination
    of available groundwater resources by saline infiltration. In addition, analysis of various
    mitigation strategies will allow the participants to guide the region toward slowly reversing
    the ecological catastrophe.
    100. You can infer from the passage that ----.
    A) mismanagement of the water resources in the Aral Sea region has some other side effects apart from

    contaminated drinking water


    B) no precautions have been taken with a view to preventing the problem of contaminated drinking water
    C) the rivers that feed the Aral Sea for irrigation purposes had positive contributions
    D) the salinity of the lake increased about three times, but gave no damage to the ecosystem
    E) use of groundwater has a long history and can be applied in all regions
