The Dead Sea Enterprises and the Site Preservation Council have already begun the restoration of the workers' camp. According to Dr. Assaf Rosenthal, the environmental expert of the site of knowledge, the Dead Sea factories are afraid to talk to ecological experts and prefer to invite the general public to see what they want to show them from the Dead Sea factories. next to him does not rise. There is no danger of flooding in the areas of the square settlements either.
Yesterday, the people of the Dead Sea factories sent out invitations to the media to invite the general public to tours of the factories, in cooperation with the regional council, when Dr. Assaf Rosenthal asked to visit to fulfill an invitation he received following previous articles, he was met with a cold shoulder and ignoring the promises. Here is what he wrote following the current invitation:
About 15 years ago, a ship was scrapped that was used by the factory workers until 1948, the ship (skeleton) was docked near a pier in the old labor camp. (Since my father worked as a guard during the time when the dams were built in the southern Dead Sea, I felt a personal interest in the matter).
I contacted the plant manager and asked to know why the ship was removed? I answered that "there is an intention to renovate and return it". To this day, the ship has not been "repaired" nor returned, to a certain degree of justice since the entire labor camp is in danger of flooding. About five years ago, I approached the Council for the Preservation of Sites and offered to preserve the labor camp. If it was because of my proposal or for other reasons, conservation work began, but then (again) it became clear to the guards that despite dams being raised frequently (due to the rise in water levels) there is water seepage, which will eventually cause the camp to flood.
You can see the result of the water seepage as puddles form in many places west of road 90. The road passes between Mount Sodom and the evaporation ponds. The western dams of the evaporation ponds are "supposed" to protect the road from flooding. About five years ago, following my lists in which I laid the blame for environmental damage in the Dead Sea factories, I was invited to (personally) visit the factory to "see the positive environmental activity" - at the factory gates there is a large inscription that should give a "green" tone to the factories. I tried to fulfill the order several times, but each time I was rejected with different excuses.
About two years ago (again following an audit of the factories) I was invited again and again and I was unable to coordinate the visit. As part of "Public Relations" there was a training course for road instructors in which the participants were "brainwashed" with nonsense, unfortunately I did not know and did not participate in the training but a colleague told me "how the Dead Sea factories work for the natural environment".
As part of my activities for the Dead Sea, I appealed to the Tamar Regional Council with warnings about the situation and the future, but (probably) since the factories are such a huge source of income for the council, it is not worth going against them.
I also contacted the communities of the Dead Sea Square: Navot HaKarkar and Tamar in an attempt to warn them about the future of the agricultural fields that will be salted due to the rise in the water level in the southern ponds, like the regional council, the settlements are also dependent on and supported by the factories and therefore do not pop up here or "beep".
In the lists published on the Hidaan website over the years, I showed how the Dead Sea factories "contributed" to the drop in the water level in the northern basin, "contributed" to damage to large areas as a result of collecting stones and construction material for dams, "contributed" to damage to springs and the water level due to drilling, "contributed" to a safety risk on Highway 90 due to The flooding and the salinization, "contribute" to the rise of the water level in the ponds in front of the hotels and to the risk of the hotels, "contribute" to the rise of the water level in the southern evaporation ponds, a rise that caused the building of higher and higher dams that caused the flooding of part of the salinity of Navet HaKachar which is a unique and special habitat (in the country and in the world) a habitat that is dying, an increase that over the years will cause salinization of the moshavim's agricultural areas.
An increase that within a few years will leave the entire area south of the factories a dry salt plain. Unfortunately it turns out that (at least in the case of the Dead Sea factories) money has a stronger influence than any other factor and therefore the forecast for the entire Dead Sea and especially its south is bleak.
Attempts by the factories to buy the public's sympathy with money and false and vanity stories will neither increase nor decrease because as sad as this is, the public is busy with "more important" things.
"The Dead Sea Enterprises reported that the Dead Sea Enterprises and the Council for the Preservation of Sites have already begun the restoration of the workers' camp. The workers' camp is not near Pool 5, so the water level next to it does not rise. There is no danger of flooding in the areas of the square settlements either.
We invite anyone who wishes to do so to come visit the factories and get a first-hand impression of the operations of a successful company that directly and indirectly employs about 30 workers in the Negev and has maintained a thriving industry for 60 years that is a source of Israeli pride."
A few days ago we received this message from the Green Trend organization:
A flotilla of rafts to expel the pirates
The Green Trend organization calls on the Israeli government and the Dead Sea factories to stop the Great Sea piracy, and takes direct action to save it: as part of the mass floating event that will take place on the night of September 13.9-14.9, on the anniversary of the famous photograph by Spencer Tonick, the Green Trend organization released a flotilla of pirate rafts that are leaving for deportation the pirates and return the Dead Sea to its true owners
Michal Shukron, Green Trend: "In the place where Spencer Tonik took the famous picture last year, there is no longer any sea, the coastline has moved away tens of meters from there. For the hundreds of people who will reach the lowest place in the world tonight, it is clear that it is impossible to go any lower than that.
A black flag flies over the Dead Sea today and we call on the Israeli government, the Minister of Infrastructure, the Minister of Environmental Protection to take the following steps to save the sea:
Examining and financing alternatives for the flow of water from the northern basin of the Dead Sea to its southern part (which make a significant contribution to the drying of the sea) in a way that will prevent (or at least reduce) the further decrease in sea level.
Examining the damages and applying the "polluter pays" principle in the entire Dead Sea environment.
Implementation of sustainable planning while maintaining the rule of "the harm is corrected".
The Dead Sea is the property of all the citizens of Israel, and the profits from the exploitation of the natural resources in its vicinity should first of all reach the pockets of its owners - the citizens, while leaving a fair entrepreneurial profit for the entrepreneurs.
Shay Olsher, coordinator of the green trend at the Weizmann Institute: "The Dead Sea is not just a resource for producing chemicals and money. The Dead Sea and its surroundings are a one-of-a-kind ecosystem, which is disappearing with each passing day due to the accelerated exploitation of the natural resources in the area.
The industrial development of the area suited, perhaps, the period in which it began, but times have changed. The Dead Sea is not just a resource for producing chemicals and money. The public today is more alert to environmental values and the exploitation of resources at the expense of preserving nature and the environment for future generations."

On March 7.3, a group arrived for a tour of your factory. Unfortunately, I got the impression that you don't want visitors. We arrived at the gate and were sent to a dusty parking lot
No shed, no water tap, etc. and we waited for the car. The tour was uneventful
understand something The instructor was not knowledgeable about the material. And I left very disappointed. The visitor center does not exist. There is no view of starting an activity.
The round trip to the pool area was very uninteresting.
That's not how you get visitors. Danny Molcho
Sorry
to the fan
As a continuation of R.M
If you bothered to read the current list you would see
(and perhaps understand) because there is no mention or reference to the northern basin,
If you had bothered to read other lists she would have seen (and perhaps understood) you
The difference between the northern and southern basins,
Since in a previous response you asked (out of boredom) for details about the drop in the level
I bothered and answered you,
Taking my answer to your question and turning it into an "attack on Kiel" is a mistake that again stems from a lack of understanding,
At your disposal every Kippur day go through the current article and the links
for you to try to understand the subject.
If you manage to understand beauty,
And no... Zebashch
to the fan
I already wrote before that "end of response in reading comprehension" in your case this is
Much simpler since you probably only read some of the things I posted
For if you had read everything you would (presumably) understand that "I attacked the Dead Sea factories" refers only to a small part (less than a fifth) to their "blame" for the drop in the level in the northern basin,
Because the solution for the northern basin must be comprehensive and integrated between all the relevant bodies in Israel and Jordan,
The main complaints I have against Kiel concern the behavior in the southern basin,
Read all the lists on the subject and hopefully you will understand.
Fan, don't put things in my mouth that I didn't say. What I said is that I have a job with my website and I don't have time to work on things that others give me, especially that I know the scientific truth and know which side it is on, so whoever believes in alternative truth, it's really a shame to waste time to prove him wrong because he will always find a subsection any.
And unlike you who only write talkbacks, I also have a website to edit so that the surfers see 3-4 news items a day, you have to devote time to them, check sources, correct the tab and more, these are not things that are done instantly, and they are my first priority. If I have time left and I want to waste it then I can look for mistakes that did not exist and were not created in the report supporting alternative energy.
All due respect to the oil and mineral capitalists, there are still 99% who suffer from their decisions, you belong to the few percent who were convinced by their arguments, too bad, but this is democracy (or exploitation of democracy). I have my sources and they are unequivocal.
Dear Doctor,
Thank you very much for your quick and detailed reply.
From reading the article you wrote and your reply, I understand that salt is dear to your heart. Therefore, it is difficult for me to understand, then, the logic that leads you to blame the drop in the Dead Sea level, only by attacking the Dead Sea factories, after all, according to you, they are only responsible for a fifth of the drop.
Let's say for the sake of the law that they close the Dead Sea tomorrow, the consequences you present in your article will only be delayed by 20 percent in terms of time. It is clear that a temporary postponement of 20 percent is not sufficient according to you.
In addition, since I believe that you are a researcher who demands to reach the truth, it is appropriate to examine different alternatives. For example, it is possible to examine the cost of desalination of water and its discharge into the Dead Sea in an amount that would add 20 centimeters to the Dead Sea per year, i.e. the damage of the Dead Sea plants. After all, when it turns out that this cost is lower than the overall benefit of the Dead Sea plants, it would be worthwhile for you, if you are pursuing justice, to pursue this alternative since it is cheaper than the alternative of laying off thousands of workers and losing the tax revenues transferred to the state every year as a result of the activities of the Dead Sea plants company.
I hope that you, contrary to my father's opinion, will not dismiss my response by saying that "it is more important to write many articles, than to write correct and in-depth articles".
Wishing you a good signing,
Fan
"respectable" fan
Appreciate the "contribution" of the factories (Israeli and Jordanian) to the lowering of the level
In the northern basin by 40%, which means that each "contributes" about 20%,
The other 60% is divided between stopping the flow of the Jordan and the Yarmouch 50%
A decrease in flows from the streams of the eastern Dead Sea and a decrease in the amount of floods by 10%,
At the end of the 19th century, the surveyors of the "Palestine Research Fund" (PEF) marked the level
In a black line (two) on the cliff about three km south of Pasha.
(Today about two meters above Route 90).
Until the damming of the Jordan and the construction of the Great Dam, the decrease was about 2 cm per year
Today... more than 100 cm a year.
At the beginning of the regular measurements (beginning of the 20th century) there was the level
392 meters (below sea level), today the level is 428 - …..
easy fasting .
I didn't get to the bottom of your mind
I know English very well, but I am not an amoeba, as for the articles, they are written by the researchers themselves or by someone they hire and coordinate with them. Part of the academic duty is to explain your research to the general public,\
By the way, we are not talking about humans who eat meat, but about fish that eat other fish.
I was sure you know English.
In any case, the author of the article, which I did not read but based on the author of the article who may have read the article, assumes that there is global warming.
Under this assumption, he assumes that there will be changes in the oceans that will cause a change in the habitat of certain animals relative to their current habitat. The author of the article, either as a curiosity or as quoting from the article, claims that the animals will not migrate to the new place, but rather, every day they will swim many miles to the place where they will eat and return back "home", he compares their situation to that of humans who have to walk many miles in order to get to the grocery store.
It's hard for me to understand, if such a grocery store is necessary for everyday life, why they don't move their house near the grocery store.
In any case, in contrast to the respectable supply of updating the site that you usually do and is really worthy of appreciation, for me personally, it is difficult to refer to studies that I have not even read the study itself, let alone the raw data.
In courts this is called "hearsay testimony", testimony from a second source.
This exercise that you have now made me perform, explains a significant part of the question that I have often asked myself - "Who writes all these strange but interesting articles".
In addition, I do not sympathize with the whole labeling thing and all the suffering caused to live in the process. Full disclosure - I'm vegan.
Best regards,
Fan
Fan, regardless of Assaf's answer and until we receive it, could you help me translate the following news in the meantime?
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/09/120924102700.htm
Dear Doctor,
As you can see I'm a bit bored so I write talkbacks and ask questions.
You did not explain the contribution of each factor and, in general, what are the causes of the drop in the Dead Sea level.
Could you please name the major and minor factors, in percentages or centimeters per year, which cause the level of the Dead Sea to drop - compared to the original situation that existed about 60 years ago.
Thanks
30 thousand workers sawing the branch they are sitting on. what is your plan Is there any prediction or is the official version that nothing is happening? And I ask this because the denial that something is happening and the fact that you do not present a forecast are equally as serious if not more serious than the damage to the Dead Sea itself. Is this the beginning of the Ministry of Truth? Facts don't matter? Is a lie true?
Thanks Asaf,
I was sure that because of the separation the effect of the factories on the North Sea is zero!
The Dead Sea is one of the most beautiful places in the world. A very unique place that must be guarded at all costs.
I can't imagine myself telling my neighbors that we - the people - the Israelites - destroyed the most unique place in the world for money...
The government must be involved. post Scriptum. Are there accurate data? How much does the lake recede every year? What is the contribution of the factories to this? What would have happened if the dam had been open?
Thanks.
The speed of response of the Dead Sea factories and the ability to attract the attention of the readers ....
from D. H. M. H.
Because the statement that:
"The workers' camp is not near pool 5, so the water level next to it does not rise.
There is no danger of flooding in the areas of the square settlements either"
Can be defined in only one way... a gross lie!
The audacity and the possibility of lying like this stems from the assumption that the innocent reader cannot know the truth,
But whoever bothers to read this list
https://www.hayadan.org.il/salt-plane-220312/,
Anyone who has completed elementary school and is able to think logically will understand that as the concentration of salt in the water increases
This is how the sunset increases, which causes the water level to rise,
The more southern the pools, the higher the salt concentration and the amount of salt that sinks,
Also, anyone who passes by the area with an eye in his head sees the works of raising the dams,
seeing the puddles of water west of road 90,
Seeing how a flood protection embankment built in the 30s has disappeared
under the water and a new embankment was built south of it.
Although most readers do not have the option of a plan to measure the beam
It is not right and not nice for the people of the factories to lie with a determined forehead!
The large amount of money that the "factories" spend on public relations could have been directed to environmental action,
This is not enough, but at least instead of lies we would see signs of intent.
