Dead Sea may be more dead than you know

From the BBC:

Environmentalists in Jordan are warning that the Dead Sea will disappear by the year 2050 if its level continues to drop at the current rate.
Friends of the Earth (Middle East) has stepped up a campaign entitled "Let the Dead Sea Live" to try to save the world's saltiest body of water.
The group is running a photo competition to draw attention to the threat facing the lake, which is home to several rare species of plant and wildlife.
The Dead Sea - the salty lake at the lowest point on Earth - is unique.
You can float in it, it is renowned for its health-giving properties and on both its Israeli and Jordanian sides, it's a major tourist draw.
But environmentalists claim that the Dead Sea is now "dying" as the water that used to feed it is diverted for industry, agriculture and domestic use in both Israel and Jordan.

the dead sea

if the world climate will change in the next 50 years
and there will be more rain the water level will be up again.
(only 10 years ago lake kineret (to which the jordan is connected in its south which runs all the way down till the dead sea) had a water level way to high so flood gates were used and the jordan roamed with too much water that ended up in the dead sea making it rise considerabley)

or Israel and Jordan can make a jouin venture and just pump sea water.

So what makes the Dead Sea more salty than anywhere else? Is it an underwater salt dome? Or could it simply be that so much evaporation takes place that over time the salinity increases?

water goes in none goes out.
and Jordan and Israel use alot of shallow pools for evaporation
to get salt,phospats and other minerals.
