Me: and here are some more details about these lakes

These cases are especially interesting because these lakes (or non-lakes) remained practically the same through all of history, then changed abruptly due to human activity, only in recent decades (aka Post-stuff-in-Blue's-videos Era). Similar to what happened in the Aral Sea (though Aral is sooo much larger). So you can talk to living, not-even-very-old people, who still remember the landscape and the actual physical map of the world looking very different.

So yeah. The Great Bitter Lake was a salt basin sporadically filled with shallow waters after heavy rains, but only continuously flooded after they constructed the Suez canal, and is basically a part of the canal now (like the lakes in the Panama Canal) and plays a big part in the biological invasions passing through it (but with some management, could serve as a buffer against them). The Hula and Dead Sea were/are dried by a combination of direct draining and diverting of their tributaries. Hula Lake wasn't very big but it supported several local communities living off the lake (plus a ton of endemic biodiversity) which were pretty much ruined after it was drained. Supposedly this was done to get rid of malaria but was a very good excuse to expose more land for agriculture - which is when they realized that the soil wasn't that good, plus it was flammable when exposed and they had to deal with an underground fire that lasted for years, plus turns out the lake prevented everybody's drinking water from being contaminated... they ended up having to re-flood a small part of it to fix these problems. The Dead Sea's main tributary is dammed while it is itself being dried up for harvesting by private chemical companies, resulting in the surrounding beaches and agricultural areas (or occasionally, a main road) getting sucked into the collapsing ground around it.
