Question

Why is the Jordan River getting smaller every year?

Answer 1

The course of the river has been diverted in modern times and used as a source of freshwater for the irrigation of crops, particularly by Israel. This, combined with the faster-than-usual rate of evaporation that occurs in desert climates, has contributed to the depletion of the water from the Jordan River.

Hope it helps you.

Answer 2

Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinians utilize the river for drinking water. Also, the course of the river has been diverted in modern times and used as a source of freshwater for the irrigation of crops, particularly by Israel.
