Resumen de Can the dead sea live?
The article discusses the environmental condition of the Dead Sea, on the borders of Israel and Jordan. According to the author, the level of the Dead Sea continues to drop each year as freshwater from the Jordan river, which fills the Dead Sea, is tapped for irrigation and seawater is evaporated for minerals extraction. He notes that in addition to sea level decline, sinkholes have formed along the Sea's border, inhibiting tourism and development. Topics include an overview of the historic and cultural value of the Dead Sea, efforts by officials from Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority to save the Dead Sea, which is a economically important resource for the region, and the ecological importance of saving the Dead Sea.
