it was a Dead Sea tourist hotspot in the '40s and '50s - Bromberg says the lack of inflow is responsible for 60% of the Dead Sea water reduction.   \u003cbr/\u003eThe Lido cafďż˝ had to close down after the shore rapidly disappeared.\u003cbr/\u003eBromberg says the rehabilitation of the Jordan River and a renewed influx of its waters into the Dead Sea is one of the keys to saving the lake.   \u003cbr/\u003eHe believes this will be possible through better water management in this extremely dry region.\u003cbr/\u003eOne of the ideas is using waterless toilets and stopping some of the most water-consuming agricultural projects, like growing fruits in desert areas. \u003cbr/\u003eIn addition to this, 'Friends of the Earth' advocates establishing the Dead Sea as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.\u003cbr/\u003eThis would provide protection from further degradation and make the area eligible for financial assistance towards preservation projects.  \u003cbr/\u003ePalestinian and Israeli officials agree that there should be better management of the Jordan River, but think it's quite unrealistic to expect this to happen soon and don't believe it is the final answer to save the Dead Sea.   \u003cbr/\u003eBoth Shaddad Attili, Head of the Palestinian Water Authority, and Galit Cohen, Head of the Environmental Policy Division at the Israeli Environment Ministry, say the Jordan River supplies water of vital importance to the local population and is desperately needed for domestic usage.   \u003cbr/\u003eIn a water-scarce region like this area of the Middle East, other solutions have been assessed.   \u003cbr/\u003eThe so-called Red-Dead Canal offers an alternative to the Jordan River rehabilitation.\u003cbr/\u003eIt is currently being studied by the World Bank, which has been put in charge of the project by the governments of Jordan, Palestinian Authority and Israel.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe idea is to transfer water from the Gulf of Aqaba and Eilat in the Red Sea through a pipeline running for 180 kilometers to the North, into the Dead Sea.   \u003cbr/\u003eInitially the water would compensate the inflow reduction from the Jordan River.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the idea is to also use the Red-Dead Canal to generate hydropower and for part of the conveyed water to be desalinated and used for drinking purposes.   \u003cbr/\u003eThough seemingly good on paper, the Red-Dead Canal project is highly controversial. \u003cbr/\u003eBoth Israeli and Palestinian officials stress that everything will be on hold until 2011, when the World Bank study will be completed and all potential ecological risks will have been carefully evaluated.   \u003cbr/\u003eGalit Cohen, Head of Environmental Policy Division at Israeli Environment Ministry says they \"need is a lot of research to understand what is going to happen to the water in the Dead Sea after mixing those two kind of waters. And there is a lot of questions, there is a lot of environmental questions, there is a lot of ecological questions.\"  \u003cbr/\u003eThere is a risk that the two waters will not mix at all, and that the Dead Sea's blue waters may turn into a reddish colour (the Red Sea is a red coral-rich area) and that new substances and algae may be introduced into the Dead Sea.\u003cbr/\u003eA final outcome on the Red-Dead Canal will be presented by a panel of internationally recognized experts who are currently evaluating the ecological, technical and social impact of the project, including its potential disruption of archaeological areas.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false'
