Central Asia’s Water Crisis: Scarcity, Cooperation, and the Aral Sea Basin

What does Central Asia’s water crisis really look like on the ground, and why does cooperation matter more than ever? In this episode of the Central Asia Podcast, Dr. Dania Arayssi interviews journalist Alexander Thompson, co-author of "When Water Becomes Glue: Solving Central Asia’s Water Dilemma Through Collaboration", about the region’s mounting water deficit, the legacy of Soviet-era water management, and the political economy of the Aral Sea basin. The discussion covers how upstream–downstream imbalances, agricultural demands, and modernization plans are reshaping regional politics, and how water could shift from being a source of tension to a foundation for cooperation and growth. 📄 Read the report: https://newlinesinstitute.org/central... 🎧 Listen to the full podcast on Podbean here: https://NLcentralasiacenter.podbean.c... #CentralAsia #Water #Asia #Podcast
