The Dead Sea really does not die

For the first time, experts sent an expedition to study the Dead Sea. Accordingly, they discovered a source of water from the giant crater along with some other bacteria on the seabed.

>>>The Dead Sea is 'dying' slowly

The team from Israel's Ben-Gurion University (BGU) said that in order to relieve the suspicion of fresh water from the cracks in the seabed, they had recently dived into the Dead Sea - a place of great concentration. The most salty salinity in the world and obtained many positive results.

Experts sharing freshwater resources in the Dead Sea come from a giant crater measuring 15 meters long and 20 meters deep.

The Dead Sea has the highest salt concentration in the world.

In addition, microbial mats concentrated in holes in the seabed show the diversity of microorganisms in the Dead Sea environment, famous waters without any living creatures. This made the researchers very surprised.

It is known that the Dead Sea is the lowest place on Earth, located on the border between the West Coast of Jordan and Israel. The salt concentration of the sea allows people to float easily on the water, but it is also a challenge for divers who want to explore this strange water.

The Dead Sea will quickly disappear if its evaporation rate remains at 1 meter / year. According to the researcher, the reason is that people have abused the source waters from the Jordan River into the Dead Sea to serve the needs of drinking water.

However, Professor Jonathen Laronne and graduate student Yaniv Munwes of BGU have invented a direct measurement of the structure of spring-flow flows at the seabed in the hope that this situation may soon be overcome.
