This claim comes as a result of the damage caused by the sinkhole pits, which threaten the future of modern Ghor, on the southeastern shore of the Dead Sea.
Al-Nsour indicated that Jordan alone cannot undertake such a mission, pointing out that “there is a need for a concerted international effort to this end, considering the Dead Sea a historical heritage that concerns the world.”
He expressed his fear that the successive decline in the water level in this sea would cause it to disappear, referring to the dangers that threaten housing in the area if the sea disappears.
The head of the Jordanian Geologists Association stressed the need to go to international donor organizations to contribute to preserving the permanence of the sea and its continued existence, by understanding the risks surrounding it, understanding its nature, classifying the available information to monitor this phenomenon, and raising the readiness to address it, in addition to intensifying research efforts using field techniques and geophysical surveys. , And space-based radar interference techniques.
The head of the Arab Geologists Union also revealed “the necessity of updating previous hydrological information, to keep pace with the current reality, in order to address the new variables that have occurred in the climate”, explaining that “a modern database must be adopted for use in studies that do not rely solely on the increase in the population of a region. The Dead Sea, rather, there must be building codes based on the geological and hydrological characteristics of the area, in addition to not encroaching on the estuaries of the Jordan River, and thinking outside the box in creative ways that ensure the flow of water to the sea.
Al-Nsour explained that the phenomenon of destructive drilling in the modern Ghor region is a result of the steady increase in the decline of the Dead Sea water, which he said is increasing annually.
