The Dead Sea is shrinking. Located between Israel and Jordan, it’s one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. (5)It’s called dead because it’s so high in salt and minerals that plants and fish can’t survive in it.
An environmental group says the lake is drying up by more than three feet per year. (6)In 2015, Israel and Jordan agreed to $900 million deal to try to fix the problem. They’re building a canal from the Red Sea to the south, to the Dead Sea. This would allow the countries to pump water into the shrinking lake. The project is estimated to take three years and it’s not clear yet if it will work. But it’s an example of how people are trying to fix the problem that people caused. (7)The demise of the Dead Sea is completely manmade. This is not climate change. This is not an act of nature. The demise of the Dead Sea is taking place under government license.
Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.
5.Why is the Dead Sea called dead?
