Arab–Israeli peace projects regional problems of acute shortage of clean fresh water in Jordan, and the rapid contraction of the Dead Sea.

"Salt springs" are one of three sources from which salt is obtained; "rock salt (fossil salt)", "sea water" and "salt brine" which is derived from springs, lakes, or wells. The brine obtained from
