Northern river reversal
Soviet Union project to divert the water resources of northern Siberia to Central Asia
Northern river reversal
The Northern river reversal or Siberian river reversal was a large-scale project to divert the flow of the Northern rivers in the Soviet Union, which "uselessly" drain into the Arctic Ocean, southwards towards the populated agricultural areas of Central Asia, which lack water. Research and planning work on the project started in the 1930s and was carried out on a large scale in the 1960s through the early 1980s. The controversial project was abandoned in 1986, primarily for environmental reasons, without much actual construction work ever done. Since the 21st century, interest resurfaced for a potential resumption of the project.
