Water security threats arising from inadequate access to water for sustaining ecosystems, livelihoods, human well-being and socio-economic development has gained increasing attention over the past decades all over the world, but especially in international river basins shared by two or more states. In the Aral Sea basin, shared by Afghanistan and five post-Soviet republics of Central Asia – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan - water security issues are extremely pressing due to heavy reliance on, and competition over, shared waters. Promoting Transboundary Water Security in the Aral Sea Basin through International Law addresses the current gap in the literature by moving beyond the static identification of treaties and norms to examine how these treaties and norms can work for water security in practice. In its thorough and incisive scholarship, the book serves as a contribution toward peaceful and sustainable regulation of transboundary watercourses and their ecosystems in the Aral Sea basin.

This report presents the GIWA assessment of the Aral Sea, a land-locked sea in Central Asia. Nearly all available freshwater resources are being used for irrigation, and the regional economy suffers frequent freshwater shortages. Modification of stream flow is the major issue. Outmoded and inefficient irrigation continues the economic problems. Weak water legislation is highlighted as a main cause. Policy options for mitigation of environmental and socio-economic impacts are laid out.
