The Syr Darya Control and Northern Aral Sea (Phase I) Project, will improve the hydraulic control of the Syr Darya basin, and of increased river capacity, and water flows to the delta, and Northern Aral Sea (NAS), thereby sustaining, and improving agricultural, and fish production. Although the project will be mostly beneficial in restoring ecosystems, which in turn improves micro-climate, and air quality, negative environmental impacts feature the deterioration of water quality, and dried delta lakes, resulting from discontinued inflows from NAS, with concomitant impacts on fisheries, aggravated by the fluctuating sea levels which may potentially delay the establishment of infrastructure, fishing industries, and tourism development. This environmental assessment include mitigation measures as follows. Strict discipline in water consumption, and management practices should be maintained, including improved water pricing, and safe disposal of polluted water drainage; in addition, potential drainage water uses will be researched. Construction of a dike across the Berg Strait will stabilize water levels, and contribute to reduced salinity levels around NAS. Construction, and rehabilitation of weirs in the Syr Darya delta, should improve water intakes from supply canals to the lakes, and, local embankments should protect agricultural lands from flooding.
