That Jordanian swimmers will also participate clearly emphasizes the importance that this country places on the event as Jordan also shares the lake with both Israel and the Palestinians. The Dead Sea is considerd to be one the ecological wonders of world. By not diverting enough water into it, via the Lower Jordan River, the future of this lake is not very good. Hopefully, this event if publicised properly will bring the lake’s current sad condition into more attention by government authorities.

One additional note: bringing water from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea via a viaduct or canal will not help, as this will cause serious environmental changes.

Something for both Israel and Jordan to be aware of.
