    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

  • 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

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.
