One of the most depressing (to me) opening lines in a Wikipedia article is "The Aral Sea (/ˈærəl/)[4][a] was an endorheic lake".

Its demise started before I was born, but when I was a kid it was the third largest lake in the world, and now it is history.

This was a predictable disaster, which could have been averted, but it would have required some sacrifice, and no one was willing to forgo the benefits for themselves to save a lake somewhere else.
