The Ministry of Environmental Protection, led by the Minister of Environmental Protection, Tamar Zandberg, initiated a multi-participant professional tour of the Dead Sea region, in order to examine the public comments received on the draft policy document for the future of the Dead Sea published by the Ministry of Environmental Protection last June: https://did.li/K2ZfT.
Ministry officials took part in the tour, headed by the Minister of Environmental Protection, Tamar Zandberg; Director General of the Ministry, Galit Cohen; Deputy Directors of the Ministry, Yuval Lester and Neta Lipman; Director of the Jerusalem District, Shawni Goldberger; South District Manager, Amir Salzberg and other professionals.
Also, the residents of the area took an active part in the tour; environmental organizations dealing with the Dead Sea; Head of the Tamar Regional Council, Nir Wengar; Geological Institute researchers; and representatives of academic bodies and research bodies.
The main goal of the tour was to examine the various alternatives and deepen the understanding of the implications of the drop in the Dead Sea level for man and the environment: the phenomenon of the receding coastline (as could be seen at Kalia Beach), the sinkholes, the migration of the springs (cliff springs as "reserved in the soul") and the subsidence of the streams.
At the end of the tour, a meeting of several hours was held where experts, environmental organizations and residents presented their position regarding the draft policy document.
The minister directed the editors of the draft policy document to conduct a thorough and detailed examination of the northern alternatives for supplying water to the Dead Sea.
The Minister of Environmental Protection, Tamar Zandberg: "The Dead Sea is a sea that is disappearing, fading away, due to many phenomena that are all man-made. The disappearance of the Dead Sea is due to human activity - the pumping and damming of water in Jordan, as well as the intensive activity of the Dead Sea factories. The government Israel must present a long-term policy to stabilize the level and apply to the factories that contribute to the drop in the level the principle according to which 'The dryer - pays.' "Existed for the benefit of the residents of the region and the surrounding area."

The statement:
"Apply the principle to the factories that contribute to the drop in the level
according to which 'the dryer pays'." Mixed with innocence if not ignorance,
Neighbor :
About 25% of the blame for the drop in the level is on the Dead Sea factories
that their activity began when the factory was in the hands of the state,
About 25% of the blame for the drop in the level is on the Jordanian factories,
The remaining 50% mainly due to the damming of the Jordan and a decrease in the sufficiency of other sources,
In other words, the "dryers" are first of all the state and then the factories
The Jordanian and the Israeli, now that we have determined who the culprits are,
Yaleh Vaivov states the saying and will explain who will "pay"?
