Case needs updating - actions, situations, arrangements between 2004 - 2012 are not addressed in the case (as of 14 November 2012)
A number of changes have occurred. The Aral Sea Crisis is still a grave environmental concern, but some of the institutional arrangements mentioned in this case study have changed over the past 8 years, and there have been some actions toward trying to resolve the crisis. This case study needs to incorporate these details.
A news item that touches on some of these updates:

I would like to invite anyone with knowledge or interest in this case to update the information related to it to reflect more recent developments.
