Declined Moynak Town- The Aral Sea

It was a port town at the Aral Sea side till 1960s. Currently the shore line falls back to some 60km away from the town by heavy irrigation which extracts river water before reaching the sea. Currenty Moynak Town is likely completely declined town, while some residents remain there.
It was heavy fine sand storm which contains salt was blowing and water from wells are higher salinity. (End of August 2009)
