Joint Effort to Save the Dead Sea

Tuesday, 10 December 2013 | by Pat's Picks

The Washington Post reports on the joint effort by Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority to refill the shrinking Dead Sea. Investors will fund a massive desalination plant in Jordan that will purify water from the Red Sea. The converted drinking water will be shared by Israel and Jordan, with Israel agreeing to sell some of it to the Palestinian Authority. The excess salt water created will be dumped back into the Dead Sea.
