Turkmenistan tries soviet-esq desert to lake transformation

A lake covering 770 square miles and filled with 130bn cubic metres of water…….in the center of a desert??
Turk is continuing with a plan to pump billions of litres of water out into the desert to form a man-made lake, this plan could take upwards of 15 years to complete and will no doubt be met with fierce opposition from powerful opposition such as oh…the sun perhaps??
Usually the reason a desert exists is because all the water already got fried out, I can just imagine that as they pump water in its gonna be evaporating pretty darn fast 
Anyway good luck to them for trying something newsworthy if alittle crazy, if they just sort out all the other problems such as the difficulty in getting a visa to enter the country and the fact that foreign journalists are currently banned (never a good sign!)……. 
To conclude, if in two decades your looking for a nice relaxing desert boating experience minus the camels check this place out….but dont forget you’ll be running 2-to-1 odds on gettin arrested and beheaded for speeding in that paddle boat
