I mean, shouldn't a sea be bigger than a bunch of lakes put together?

A rapidly shrinking lake. It may not dwarf all those others after a while.Originally posted by Kepler View PostComment

That is the Aral Sea in your picture there.Originally posted by Kepler View Post

If you want to see shrinkage, try Baikal.
I do see there were several articles about Baikal in 2015 where there was concern for shrinking but can't find anything since though I'm sure there is still great concern among the smart folks. Lower than normal snowfall in the mountains around has meant less runoff to fill.Comment

Still a prime example of the rapid shrink/drop of many water resourcesOriginally posted by Kepler View PostComment

IIRC, the Aral's shrinkage is largely the result of poor and wasteful irrigation practices from the time of Soviet-controlled Uzbekistan. They became the world's #1 exporter of cotton for a time (and Top 5 in child labor, of course), but largely at the expense of that body of water.Comment

Yeah, without looking it up to confirm, I think they effectively drained the lake.Originally posted by FadeToBlack&Gold View PostI gotta little bit of smoke and a whole lotta wine...Comment

Lake Superior added a full foot to its depth this spring. I’d have to look up the specs, but I think that added over 4.4 trillion gallons of water to it volume.Originally posted by Kepler View Post
