The Dead Sea (Hebrew: יָם הַמֶּלַח About this soundYam ha-Melah lit. Sea of Salt; Arabic: البحر الميت About this soundAl-Bahr al-Mayyit) is a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel And the West Bank to the west. Its surface and shores are 430.5 metres (1,412 ft) below sea level, Earth's lowest elevation on land. The Dead Sea is 304 m (997 ft) deep, the deepest hypersaline Lake in the world. With a salinity of 342 g/kg, or 34.2%, (in 2011), it is 9.6 times as salty as the ocean and one of the world's saltiest bodies of water.[7] This salinity makes for a Harsh environment in which plants and animals cannot flourish, hence its name. The Dead Sea's main, northern basin is 50 kilometers (31 mi) long and 15 kilometers (9 mi) wide at its widest point.[1] It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River.
The Dead Seawater has a density of 1.24 kg/litre, which makes swimming similar to floating.
The Dead Sea is receding at an alarming rate. Multiple canals and pipelines were proposed to reduce its recession, which had begun causing many problems. The Red Sea–Dead Sea Water Conveyance project, carried out by Jordan, will provide water to neighbouring countries, While the brine will be carried to the Dead Sea to help stabilise its levels. The first phase of the project is scheduled to begin in 2018 and be completed in 2021.
死海（希伯来语：יָםהַמֶּלַח关于这个声音，哈姆 - 梅拉点燃。盐海;阿拉伯语：关于这个声音Al-Bahr al-Mayyit）是一个盐湖，东边是约旦河，以色列和西岸向西。它的表面和海岸位于海平面以下430.5米（1,412英尺），是地球上海拔最低的海拔。死海深304米（997英尺），是世界上最深的超级湖。盐度为342克/公斤，或34.2％（2011年），是海洋的咸度的9.6倍，也是世界上最咸的水体之一。[7]这种盐度使得植物和动物无法繁盛的恶劣环境因而得名。死海的主要北部盆地长50公里（31英里），最宽处15公里（9英里）。[1]它位于约旦裂谷，其主要支流是约旦河。
数千年来，死海吸引了来自地中海盆地的游客。它是世界上第一个疗养胜地之一（希律大帝），它一直是各种产品的供应商，从用于埃及木乃伊的沥青到用于肥料的钾肥。人们还使用死海的盐和矿物质来制作化妆品和草药小袋。
死海水的密度为1.24千克/升，这使得游泳类似于漂浮。[8] [9]
死海以惊人的速度消退。提出了多条运河和管道来减少经济衰退，这已经开始引起许多问题。由约旦开展的红海 - 死海输水项目将向邻国提供水，而盐水将被运往死海以帮助稳定其水平。该项目的第一阶段计划于2018年开始，并于2021年完成。
