Mediterranean–Dead Sea Canal
Proposed canal / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Red Sea–Dead Sea Water Conveyance.
The Mediterranean–Dead Sea Canal (MDSC) is a proposed project to dig a canal from the Mediterranean Sea to the Dead Sea, taking advantage of the 400 m (1,300 ft) difference in water level between the seas. The project could correct the drop in the level of the Dead Sea observed in recent years. The canal could also be used to generate hydroelectric power because of surface difference and maybe by salinity gradient power, and desalinate water by reverse osmosis.[1]
