The Jordan River
Religiously, it is considered to be one of the world's most sacred rivers, it is (156 miles) kilometers long.
Course
The river drops rapidly in a 75 kilometer run to swampy Lake Huls , which is slightly below Sea level in the Galilee sea. Exiting the lake, it drops much more in about 25 kilometers to the Sea of Galiliee The last section has less gardien , (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_gradient) and the river begins to meander before it enters the Dead Sea , (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Sea)which is about 400 meters below sea level and has no outlet . Two major tributaries enter from the east during this last phase: the Yarmouk River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarmouk_River) and Jabbok River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabbok).
Its section north of the Sea of Galilee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_Galilee) Arabic: Bohayrat Tabaraya, meaning Lake of Tiberias (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberias)) is within the boundaries of Israel, and forms the western boundary of the Golan Heights (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golan_Heights). South of the lake, it forms the border between the Kingdom of Jordan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Jordan) (to the east) and Israel and the West Bank (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bank) (to the west).
In 1964, Israel began operating a dam that diverts water from the Sea of Galilee, a major Jordan River water provider, to the National Water Carrier . Also in 1964, Jordan constructed a channel that diverted water from the Yarmouk River,another main tributary of the Jordan River. Syria has also built reservoirs that catch the Yarmouk's waters. Environmentalists blameIsrael, Jordan and Syria for extensive damage to the Jordan River ecosystem.
In modern times, the waters are 70% to 90% used for human purposes and the flow is much reduced. Because of this and the high evaporation rate of the Dead Sea, the sea is shrinking. All the shallow waters of the southern end of the sea have been drained in modern times and are now salt flats.
In September 2006, a problem arose with contamination: just downstream, raw sewage began flowing into the water. Small sections of the Jordan's upper portion, near the Sea of Galilee , have been kept pristine for baptisms. Most polluted is the 60-mile downstream stretch - a meandering stream from the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea. Environmentalists say the practice has almost destroyed the river's ecosystem . Rescuing the river could take decades, according to environmentalists. In 2007,Friends of the Earth, Middle East named the Jordan River as one of the world's 100 most endangered ecological sites, due in part to lack of cooperation between Israel and the neighboring Arab states.
Importance
The waters of the Jordan River are an extremely important resource to the dry lands of the area and are a bone of contention among Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel and Palestinians .
