ARIDITY INDEX OF THE DRIED-UP ARAL SEA BED AREAS IN RECENT YEARS

This scientific paper describes the aridity index observed in recent years in the area of the dried-up Aral Sea bed. Calculating the aridity index (AI) based on the ratio of precipitation to potential (reference) evapotranspiration to assess the degree of aridity in the study area. In the territory of the Muynak district of the Republic of Karakalpakstan, the values were 1 – (year 2000) AI = 0.45; 2 – (year 2010) AI = 0.23; 3 – (year 2020) AI = 0.12; and 4 – (year 2025) AI = 0.15, indicating the prevalence of semi-arid and arid conditions.

Abstract

This scientific paper describes the aridity index observed in recent years in the area of the dried-up Aral Sea bed. Calculating the aridity index (AI) based on the ratio of precipitation to potential (reference) evapotranspiration to assess the degree of aridity in the study area. In the territory of the Muynak district of the Republic of Karakalpakstan, the values were 1 – (year 2000) AI = 0.45; 2 – (year 2010) AI = 0.23; 3 – (year 2020) AI = 0.12; and 4 – (year 2025) AI = 0.15, indicating the prevalence of semi-arid and arid conditions.
