Final answer:

To repair the environmental degradation in the Aral Sea Region, steps include constructing dams, updating irrigation processes, undertaking conservation efforts, exploring for oil, and addressing water loss.

Step-by-step explanation:

To repair the environmental degradation in the Aral Sea Region, several steps should be taken:

  1. Construct dams to partition off sections of the sea and increase water levels
  2. Update irrigation processes and reduce water loss
  3. Undertake conservation efforts to raise water levels and reduce salinity
  4. Contract out to explore for oil beneath the dry seabed
  5. Address the loss of water from rivers to prevent further shrinkage

These measures have been undertaken in the Little Aral Sea in Kazakhstan and have shown some success in abating deterioration and reviving the fishing industry.
