In September of
2002, Jordan and Israel agreed to pump water into the Dead Sea from the Red
Sea. The water level of the Dead Sea has
been dropping for many years. It dropped
from 1,280 feet to minus 1425 feet as of last year.
The drop in the
water has affected construction, agriculture, extraction of minerals, beaches
and more. Jordan is one of the top 10
countries in the world that are faced with water scarcity
The people are
still waiting for the government to implement their agreement.
