Annotation: In the second part of the article the consideration of a multifactorial process of restoration of the Aral Sea and its drained part is proceeded. The organizational – political formalization of the management of the water resources of the Aral Sea basin came to an intellectually reasonable proposal for compensation projects – the construction of a Kokaral dam to create a North Aral Sea in Kazakhstan and the creation of a “Green sea” on the basis of forest melioration on the dried bottom of the South Aral Sea in Uzbekistan. At the same time, the problem of water scarcity remains unresolved, taking into account the increase in water intake from upstream of the Amu Darya river by Afghanistan.
