MIDEAST-JERUSALEM-DEAD SEA-SALT FORMATION

(230621) -- JERUSALEM, June 21, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on June 20, 2023 shows salt formations in the northern part of the Dead Sea about 30 kilometers east of Jerusalem. The Dead Sea depends heavily on inflows from the Jordan River in the north to maintain its water level. In the past decades, farming and mineral extraction in the area are believed to have pulled out more water than can be refilled by natural means, posing ecological threats to the ever-shrinking salt lake. Statistics showed that the dead sea has been shrinking at an alarming pace, dropping by 1.1-1.2 meters each year, and is about half the size it was in 1976. As the water receded, a barren landscape of salt rock and numerous sinkholes appeared. (Photo by Gil Cohen Magen/Xinhua)

                (230621) -- JERUSALEM, June 21, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on June 20, 2023 shows salt formations in the northern part of the Dead Sea about 30 kilometers east of Jerusalem. The Dead Sea depends heavily on inflows from the Jordan River in the north to maintain its water level. In the past decades, farming and mineral extraction in the area are believed to have pulled out more water than can be refilled by natural means, posing ecological threats to the ever-shrinking salt lake. Statistics showed that the dead sea has been shrinking at an alarming pace, dropping by 1.1-1.2 meters each year, and is about half the size it was in 1976.
