ये मृत सागर को देखकर आप हेरान हो जायेंगे

              It is estimated that the Dead Sea’s water level has dropped by more than 131ft (40 metres) since the 1950s.



The low level has been blamed on the imbalance between the amount of incoming and outgoing water.

In particular, experts said there has been a large reduction of water flowing into the sea from the Jordan River.

This may be due to the water saturating the land, or being taken from the river for various reasons.

The Dead Sea, known as the Sea of Salt, separates Israel and Jordan.



It is so-called, because its high salt content, which is almost 10 times as salty as the ocean, prevents fish and plants from living in it.



The sea’s surface and shores are 1,407ft (429 metres) below sea level, making it the Earth’s lowest elevation on land.
