JORDAN WATER SECURITY ISSUES

GHOR HADITHA, JORDAN -- APRIL 10, 2021: Hassan Kanazri, a 63-year-old tomato farmer, walks through the former grounds for the Numeira Salt company and where sinkholes have appeared, ground shifted and roads collapsed, in Ghor Haditha, Jordan, Saturday April 10, 2021. The sinkholes are a harbinger of that future in a Middle East precariously balanced on dwindling resources. With the Dead Sea shrinking at a rate of anywhere from 3 to 5 feet a year, its saltwater is replaced by freshwater, which rushes in and dissolves subterranean salt layers, some of them hundreds of feet below. Cavities form, and the soil collapses into subsurface voids, creating sinkholes. In the last three decades, the Dead SeaÕs level has fallen almost 100 feet. The rate of loss is accelerating, as are the sinkholes; they now number in the thousands, like a rash spreading on the exposed seabed. (Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)
