ISRAEL - JORDAN RIVER, MAY, 2010: The historic Jordan River, immortalised in the three holy books of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, will run dry by next year after overexploitation and pollution have turned it into a "trickle", environmentalists warned last month. Until the 1930s, the Jordan River carried 1.3 billion cubic meters of water annually from the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea, but since then it has lost over 98 per cent of its flow, which, according to a new environmental flow report on the Jordan River, has left it a highly degraded ecosystem.
