that’s funny and we have “Salt Bar(s)” in the Bay Area. Always cool to see.

if Jordan decides to fill the Dead Sea up to
be at ocean level, how much
land does Israel lose?
To: element92
Ocean level? That would flood from Akaba to Mt Hermon. Galilee, the Jordan River Valley, and part of the Samaria would be under water. Won’t ever happen.

if everything below sea-level was flooded

When Helen Thomas was a child the Dead Sea was only sick.

To: element92
Israel would lose more land, but it is immaterial, because the flooding would be greater than ever in recorded history. Inconceivable (and contrary to biblical accounts of the future of the Dead Sea area).

How could using the wastewater from a desalinization plant introduce foreign species?
I’m under the impression that the process of desalinization is sufficient enough to kill off the bacteria/algae/fish/etc that would be found in the raw seawater.

The government in Amman has said it is planning to extract more than 10 billion cubic feet a year from the Red Sea 110 miles to the south, feed most of it into a desalination plant to create drinking water, and send the salty waste-water left over to the Dead Sea by tunnel.
Fascinating idea, since Jordan is landlocked.

I was pointing out the rise and fall of the Dead Sea over time. Your point of fault movement resulting from the weight of the water as well as the lubrication of the fault contact surfaces produces EQ’s is correct. Many of the EQ’s
are very local in nature but they do occur. The current flooding of the Yangze River Valley is an example.

Jordan is not landlocked. They have access to the Gulf of Aqaba/Eilat and have the port city of
Aqaba.

There is some sort of near micro-scopic shrimp that lives in it, I think.
The solution is to run sea water to it in SHALLOW and SLOW canals. That lets the Sun bake it pretty good and increase the salinity.
FWIW, its great for one’s skin. Lots of eczema/psoriasis/back acne sufferers have found that getting a mild sunburn with this salt clear the condition right up.
