Abstract

As the result of huge-scale irrigation under the Soviet project, serious water scarcity has occurred in the Aral Sea Basin. Millions people are suffering especially in the downward area and the Aral Sea has shrunk to 10% of 1960's level. To solve the problem, sustainable irrigation project is required and this project has to be based on several information about quantity of water resources and the impact of global warming. These information are necessary as basic and scientific information for the basin. In this study, annual water and heat balance in the Aral Sea Basin is analyzed from 1961 to 2003 by land surface model SiBUC, which can analyze water for irrigation in physical way. From this analysis, water balance in the past and some impacts of expanding irrigated area are analyzed.
