The Disappearing Sea The Dead Sea drops 3 feet annually. Water diversions from the Jordan River caused this. The sea level fell 100 feet since 1960. Salt concentration keeps increasing as water evaporates. Sinkholes appear along the shrinking shoreline. The saltiest body of water is vanishing. Future generations might never float in the Dead Sea.
