What your map don't show is how large the crops grew.
The water didn't "went away", it was used for irrigation to turn large part of the desert into cultures.

Uzbekistan profits a lot from cotton farming and uzbeks don't care if kazakhs have some ecological problems. And nobody is starving, it's not Africa, everyone who lived there just moved to another parts of the country.

Soooo, they sell a lot of cotton, keep the money in their pockets and they are starving?

There are two sides at this situation: uzbeks who don't face any troubles since they receive all that water to their cotton fields and kazakhs whose territories turn into desert every year. As far as I remember kazakhs are gonna build a dam and cock block uzbeki cotton industry and that dissapoints them a lot.
