That big money can be collected for two countries Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan as big as they can and as well as from well developed countries, with the help of World Bank.

what about oil potential or selling rights for pipelines from west to east to China...30 to fifty billions dollars sounds feasable, no?

The Aral sea can be restored to it's actual size when it was in 1950s-60s in just 20 or 25 years by building two big canals from Volga and Ob-Irtysh rivers, but it costs big money about $30 or $50 billion. But that solution solves 2 no 3 problems at one time. 1- restoring the Aral sea, 2- decreasing water level of Caspian sea which is becoming more dangerous for Caspian cities, 3- stop melting the ice in the Arctic ocean.
