The Dead Sea really is dying --
starved for water Upstream, the River Jordan is
being dammed, diverted by Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria
The Jordan -- best known as the river where Christians believe Jesus was baptized -- used to be the main source of water for the Dead Sea, delivering about 1.3 billion cubic meters of water every year, or about three- quarters of all the water that flowed into the sea.
Today, virtually every major spring and tributary that once flowed into the Jordan has been dammed or diverted for drinking water and crop irrigation by Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. The Jordan now delivers less than 100 million cubic meters of water a year to the Dead Sea, and as much as half of that is raw sewage, according to Bromberg and other environmentalists.

The tributaries to the Jordan are tapped by Syria, Israel takes a large cut and the Jordanians (let alone the Palestinians) are *****. The whole crapola about Israel making the desert bloom is for one reason only: they use a lot more water per person than most people in dry climates, like the Australians and the Texans and a lot more than the Jordanians too.
