“Today Dead Sea isn´t what it was before. Since the late 1980s, massive sink holes — some the size of a basketball court— have riddled the large lake's shore line, making it a dangerous place for any visitor. And, the rate at which sink holes are developing is increasing. In the 1990s, it was a few dozen a year, and in 2015 around 700 were reported. The sinkholes are caused by the Dead Sea's salty water receding — which is happening at a rate of about 3 feet per year. One cause of the receding is that the Dead Sea's natural water sources, which flow south through the Jordan River valley from Lebanon and Syria, have been diverted for both farming and drinking water. Mineral mining by Israeli and Jordanian potash producers account for further damage. As the Dead Sea water recedes, fresh groundwater bubbles up, dissolving layers of salt in the land, which creates the large underground cavities. Now, abandoned resorts and old water parks sit on the shores of the Dead Sea. Many of its public beaches have closed.” ☹️
