Some sources to flesh out the stub

Ah, this ecological disaster-in-the-making deserves a real article! If somebody takes on this stub, a few sources to get started with:

From the Radio Free Europe website: "Turkmenistan: Ashgabat Has Grand Plans To Create Man-Made Lake, River (Part 1)" http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1054572.html "Turkmenistan: Projects Sounding Alarm Bells In Region (Part 2)" http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1054573.html "Analysis: A River Runs Through It" http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1054577.html

From the Institute for War and Peace Reporting: "Turkmen “Golden Lake” May Prove Green Disaster" http://www.iwpr.net/report-news/turkmen-%E2%80%9Cgolden-lake%E2%80%9D-may-prove-green-disaster

Then there's this, which suffers from translation problems, but has the whiff of official documentation and also maps and photos, including one of the already-excavated "Karashor" lake-bed depression: "The « Golden age lake » of Turkmenistan" http://91.121.162.160/aral/Golden_age_lake.pdf 24.128.188.152 (talk) 06:05, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
