And the dead sea is a great wounder that has the ability to cure deases such as skin problems or arthritis . also without the dead sea and the products it produces there would be no turism without turism the economy of jordan and isreal will crash. sooo the dead sea must be saved for the economy and the the ability of curing health problems. plus jordan and isreal do care but they do not have enough money to produce a project they have been working on the have tried many ways many yimes but failed and now they are just trying to find other solutions. soo who doesnt really understand the situation dont try to sound smart why would we give up ? the dead sea is not old news its news that never dies for a reason also the dead sea is named that way for a reason if u r smart u would know that the dead sea has a high density of salt thats wat makes it unique... nothn nthn nthn!! would servive in it not even microscopic animals or algae.

If it's already dead, it's pretty much a done deal and there isn't anything else you can do for it. There is nothing living in the dead sea, hence its name, except for some bacteria and perhaps microscopic animals or algae.

Sure, it is a kiss but not worth much. I agree, it's kinda like kissing your sister. Sure, it is a kiss but not worth much.

A large pool of hyper salinated water is receding because people are using the water beforeit gets there, for crazy ideas like irrigation and DRINKING. Once water gets to the Dead Sea it is unusable. Also I don't think there is any life at all in the dead sea. I will just Wiki that.... Yes, there is no life above bacteria in the Sea year round. Screw it, let it evapourate.
