Yahoo News reports the ‘Nature’s revenge’ on the banks of Dead Sea (Israel). With the water level decline, because of the construction of dams, storage reservoirs and pipelines, the unique salt lake is drying up at a distressing rate.  The Dead Sea is evaporating at a rate of nearly four feet per year and large salt pockets are left behind as the water recedes. As ground water dissolves the salt, washing it back into the Dead Sea, empty cavities develop creating massive sink holes. “It’s nature’s revenge,” said Gidon Bromberg, the Israeli Director at EcoPeace Middle East, “These sinkholes are a direct result of the inappropriate mismanagement of water resources in the region.”
