Agreement for Dead Sea
The leaders of Israel, Jordan, and the unrecognized nation of Palestine have reached an agreement to help replenish the shrinking Dead Sea. A 110 mile long pipeline will be built along the Jordan River to transfer water from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea. The pipeline will also supply water to Amman, the capital of Jordan. Much of the water traveling the pipeline will be desalinated so it can be drunk by people. The Dead Sea is both the world's lowest land elevation and the saltiest body of water.
