many cultures hvae mentioned it in their religious/historical texts. it was a source of healing for the ancient egyptians and it was the setting of dramatic events in the bible. many consider it a treaure.

to solve the regions water problem as well as reviving the dead sea

# data[].attributes.body
it is quickly declining. 1 third of the dead seas surface has been lost. the shoreline is full od sink holes

# data[].attributes.body
it desprately needs water

# data[].attributes.body
receding at an alarming rate.

# data[].attributes.body
6000+ sinkholes on the shoreline

# data[].attributes.body
because it involves building a large pipe all the way from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea

It costs a lot of money (10 billion)

It will change the environment

# data[].attributes.body
the water level is droping

causing the shoreline to move back

revealing potholes that where once underwater

# data[].attributes.body
potential destruction of wildlife in the red sea. the dead sea is so salty any animal potentially sucked up in the said pipeline will die almost immediately.

# data[].attributes.body
massive loss of water in an already water scarce area.

extra research not from video because the answer in the video is very vague:

the water from the dead sea comes from the jordan river however due to irrigation projects and other water needs further upstream theres a lot less water entering the sea

# data[].attributes.body
hot weather is a major factor contributing to the decline as there is no extra rain and lots of evaporation.

Companies are extracting minerals from the Dead Sea.

Climate change

assuming this project goes through it might return the area to its former glory attracting tourists once more, lifting the spirits of people who live in the region (who believe the dead sea is something to be treasured/is incredibly cultrally significant). additionally the flow of income from the tourism can offer many job opportunities for formerly jobless individuals who no longer need to travel many of kilometers just for a jug of water. this way the region can potentially be pulled out of the intense poverty it is experiencing rn

to replenish the Dead Sea and give Jordan and neighbouring countries fresh water to drink.

1. Desalinate water from the Red sea to help neighboring countries in extremely dry areas survive and help build there economy

2. Pump Brine from the desalinated water to the dead sea to help replenish the sea with water,

# data[].attributes.body
This project is in a resource scarce area as well as costing billions to make. Desalinating Water is also a very expensive process and with the idea of pumping the brine into the dead sea it would cost even more for this whole project, countries might not be able to run this facility due to high running costs and possible political actions.

# data[].attributes.body
the loss of water in the dead sea is cused by less water entering the dead sea from the jordan river and the curent state of the world (globle warming and less rain)

# data[].attributes.body
Economically, this can be beneficial for all neighboring countries, being in the driest area of the world along with 5% of the population around, this desalination plant cant generate money for the operating country as well as support a lot of the desert areas, especially since water is the key to life in this area

to refill the dead sea frome the leftover brine from the desalination plants

to provide drinking water to jordan and neighbouring countries
