Bathers at the Dead Sea in southern Israel cover themselves with mud from the salty lake, highly acclaimed for its therapeutic and cosmetic qualities, Tuesday, April 21st, 2009. With its main source of water, the Jordan River, largely dammed and pumped for human use, the Dead Sea , the salty lake at the lowest point on the world's surface, has shriveled dramatically in recent years, serving as a symbol for the country's shrinking water resources.
