Members of the public and the media do not need a permit to film or photograph in public places and police have no power to stop them filming or photographing incidents or police personnel. Terrorism Act 2000 Photography and Section 43 of the Terrorism Act 2000 Officers have the power to stop and search a person who they reasonably suspect to be a terrorist. The purpose of the stop and search is to discover whether that person has in their possession anything which may constitute evidence that they are a terrorist. Officers have the power to view digital images contained in mobile telephones or cameras carried by a person searched under S43 of the Terrorism Act 2000 to discover whether the images constitute evidence that the person is involved in terrorism. Officers also have the power to seize and retain any article found during the search which the officer reasonably suspects may constitute evidence that the person is a terrorist. This includes any mobile telephone or camera containing such evidence. Officers do not have the power to delete digital images or destroy film at any point during a search. Deletion or destruction may only take place following seizure if there is a lawful power (such as a court order) that permits such deletion or destruction. Section 58A of the Terrorism Act 2000 Section 58A of the Terrorism Act 2000 covers the offence of eliciting, publishing or communicating information about members of the armed forces, intelligence services or police where the information is, by its very nature, designed to provide practical assistance to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism. Any officer making an arrest for an offence under Section 58A must be able to demonstrate a reasonable suspicion that the information was, by its very nature, designed to provide practical assistance to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism It would ordinarily be unlawful to use section 58A to arrest people photographing police officers in the course of normal policing activities, including protests because there would not normally be grounds for suspecting that the photographs were being taken to provide assistance to a terrorist. An arrest would only be lawful if an arresting officer had a reasonable suspicion that the photographs were being taken in order to provide practical assistance to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism. There is nothing preventing officers asking questions of an individual who appears to be taking photographs of someone who is or has been a member of Her Majesty’s Forces (HMF), Intelligence Services or a constable so long as this is being done for a lawful purpose and is not being done in a way that prevents, dissuades or inhibits the individual from doing something which is not unlawful."

The slow death of Lake Urmia is a huge issue in Iran. quote:The Association for Defense of Azerbaijani Political Prisoners in Iran (ADAPP) is appealing to the international community to assist with avoiding an environmental catastrophe in Iran and to support those demonstrating to call attention to the crisis surrounding the disappearance of Lake Urmia in the country’s Azerbaijani provinces. The deterioration of Lake Urmia impacts 13 million local inhabitants, as well as the nations of Azerbaijan, Turkey, Iraq, and Armenia. According to Esmail Kahrom, a professor of environmental sciences at the University of Tehran, if Lake Urmia dries up, “six to eight cities will be totally destroyed, covered by layers and layers of salt.”  Yesterday: Lake Urmia - Today: Urmia Salt Desert - Tomorrow: Urmia Pit  az jan jananam fucked around with this message at 03:36 on May 10, 2013 |

Edit: Never mind, should've read OP. Population of arabs as percentage of overall population within Israel as of 2000, to demonstrate why the above image is misleading. There are more than half again as many arabs / Palestinians in the dark brown areas as there are in the light brown (around 2,000,000). The image above also shows the Israeli settlements in Gaza as still extant in 2008, which of course is not the case.

Villa Epecuén, Argentina, was a resort town next to Laguna Epecuén, a tourist attraction due to its high salt content. The town flooded in 1985 and was abandoned. Years later, as the floodwaters have slowly receded, it is once again a tourist attraction as a ghost town.

 The rainwater harvesting issue probably has something to do with how rural an area is. My parents can remember not even having running water, their sole source of water collection until around the age of 10 was harvested rain-water. Single-home phone lines were only installed in the area around the time I was born and I'm only 25.

Salty lakes used to be considered healthy to hang out in. And if the salt content was really high, like the Dead Sea, then you can float easily!
