โœฆ Synopsis

The Dead Sea is the lowest spot on Earth. It is a closed saline lake located in the middle of the Jordan Rift Valley between Lake Tiberias and the Red Sea. Its major tributaries are the Jordan River itself and the Dead Sea side wadis. The Dead Sea has a unique ecosystem and its water has curative, industrial and recreational signiยฎcance. The level of the Dead Sea has been continuously falling since the early 1930s at an average rate of 0 . 7 m per year. The water level, as of February 1998, is about 410 . 9 m below mean sea level. In this paper, a water balance model is developed for the Dead Sea by considering dierent hydrological components of this water balance, including precipitation, runo, evaporation and groundwater ยฏow. This model is calibrated based on historical levels of the Dead Sea. Dierent scenarios are investigated, including the proposed Dead SeaยฑRed Sea Canal. This project is supposed to halt the shrinking of the Dead Sea and restore it to pre-1950 levels in the next century.

## Abstract The longโ€term water level variations of the Dead Sea (DS) were assessed using a previously developed simulation model. The model establishes the condition of the DS by evaluating a series of ordinary differential equations describing mass balances on the water and major chemical species
