Israelis, Palestinians, and Jordanians are currently planning accelerated development around the Dead Sea, which would result in massive construction...and enhanced mineral and water extraction...[T]he biggest cause of the rapid disappearance of the Dead Sea is the lack of water coming into it from its traditional sources: the Jordan River... [M]uch of this water [taken from inflows to the Dead Sea]...goes towards highly subsidised and inefficient agriculture...The proposed building of hotels along the central shorelines of the Dead Sea pose a severe threat to the natural and cultural resources of this ecologically sensitive area...The mineral extraction activities of the Dead Sea Works [part of ICL Fertilizers] and the Arab Potash Company operating at the southern end of the Dead Sea have been major players in affecting the environmental stability of the region.
