The establishment of nature: a trip in the wake of sinkholes at the Dead Sea
It has been decades since man dried the Dead Sea and gets rich at his expense.
The decline in the water level caused the creation of more than 3,000 sinkholes,
with every day an average of a new sinker was created and recently under Route 90.
Rare photographs from the hovercraft demonstrate that nature will not remain silent for a long time.
These craters, also known as sinkholes, From the dehydration of the Dead Sea beginning in the 1980s. The human hand, which leased the Sea of Galilee with the construction of the electricity plant in Naharayim in the late 1920s, significantly reduced the flow of water from the Jordan River to the Dead Sea, as well as the long-term abuse of commercial plants that dry the sea for the benefit of its treasures. But it is impossible to ignore the nature that reduces its water.
In any case, more than 3,000 such beautiful holes have opened up in the last 30 years, with a new sinker being created each day on average. The sinker is formed from the mass of a layer of salt beneath the surface of the sea by fresh water that comes from springs or runoff and in a karstic process dissolves the soil, creating large, small depressions that fall down from centimeters to many meters.
And these bollers have already damaged the agriculture, the tourism and the people in the area. The date groves of Kibbutz Ein Gedi have been abandoned for years due to a large sinkhole, which was abandoned for the same reason. Recently, the resort village of Mineral Beach was closed. Now, the vengeful sinkholes threaten to undermine Route 90, which has caused people to think and build a bypass road, waste millions of shekels, time, create traffic jams and, worst of all, tourists are afraid to leave their homes.
