The Dead Sea was discovered by the Israelis sometime around 323 B.C. Located in the Judean Desert area, the Dead Sea is between Jordan and Israel. The weather here is typically sunny and dry throughout the year. It is about 400 meters (1,320 feet) below sea level, this being the lowest place found on Earth. It is one of the smallest seas in the world.
Since then, the Dead Sea has declined dramatically. It needs an infusion of 160 billion gallons of water annually to maintain its current size; it gets barely 10 percent of that. Some 50 miles long in 1950, the sea is about 30 miles long today.Water levels are falling at an average rate of three feet per year.According to a recent Israeli government study, the rate of evaporation will slow and the Dead Sea will reach equilibrium again in a few decadesâbut not before losing another third of its present volume.n 1947, Bedouin shepherds, searching for a stray goat in the Judean Desert, entered a cave at Qumran near the north shore of the lake and discovered clay jars containing 2,000-year-old scripture written in Hebrew, Greek and Aramaicâthe Dead Sea scrolls.
