If the Jordan river flows into the dead sea and no water flows out of it why does it not constantly flood?

It's a very hot place, and the salt factories evaporate the water (to isolate the salt). Since it doesn't rain over there, the Jordan river is the only thing giving water to the dead sea. The dead sea is actually drying up.

∙ 7y agovery little water flows in the Jordan river into the dead sea, most of it is stopped in the kineret (sea of galili) and used as Israels main water supply. The rest evaporates, after all the dead sea area is one of the hottest places on the planet.
