| Research Abstract |
The large scale irrigation Agriculture in the Cetral Asia caused the Aral Sea shrinkage and the environmental destruction around the Aral Sea in these 40 years. Many reports described this problem, but we could not understand scientificaly the phenomenon occured in this area. Because the shrinkage of the Aral Sea effected on the many sites of the environment and human activities. In this study, we try to reveal the relation between the water pollution and human health in this area, especialy in Novokazalinsk region. The water quality of drinking water (river and deep well) is analysed on the salinity and pesticide. Salinity of any drinking water in this area is very high and these water are not dangerous for human body. The intake amount of salinity of the peoples in this area is three times more than another country and the salinity caused the anemia and another diseases. Pollution by pesticides is not so high as reported in the past.
