for reals??

Will this make Egypt green?

AW HELL NAH

>The Qattara depression is a region that lies 60 m below sea level on average and is currently a vast, uninhabited desert. By connecting the region and the Mediterranean Sea with tunnels and/or canals, water could be let into the area. The inflowing water would then evaporate quickly because of the desert climate. This way a continuous flow of water could be created if inflow and evaporation were balanced out. With this continuously flowing water, hydroelectricity could be generated. Eventually, this would result in a hypersaline lake or a salt pan as the water evaporates and leaves the salt it contains behind. This would return the Qattara Depression to its current state but with its sabkha soils tens of meters higher.

>The proposals call for a large canal or tunnel being excavated of about 55 to 100 kilometres (34 to 62 mi) depending on the route chosen to the Mediterranean Sea to bring seawater into the area.[2] Or otherwise a 320 kilometre (200 mile) pipeline north-east to the freshwater Nile River south of Rosetta.[3][4] In comparison, Egypt's Suez Canal is currently 193 kilometres in length.[5] By balancing the inflow and evaporation, the lake's water level can be held constant. Several proposed lake levels are 70, 60 and 50 meters below sea level.

I know the plan.
Have your politicans finally decided to do it?

more surface area of water = more evaporation = more humidity = more rain = more greenery
so yes

Just how much potential rain could this create as a result of the evaporation?

1. egyptians on Any Forums are always retarded
2. sisi is retarded

Time for another civil war eh Tyrone

cope and seethe
that would entirely depend how big theyre going with the project
full filling would put a salt lake twice the size of lebanon just west of the delta so i will be guessing quite alot of rain
they made a committee a few years back to figure out which of the potential plans would be best
there are several ones

do you want me to rape your weak croatian ass and give your entire country back to serbia?

All the fossils there will be lost :(

I'm more interested in whether they'll do any archeological excavations there. Lots of stuff has been found that way, like the Iron Gates Mesolithic, and the Hurrian palace that was submerged in the Mosul dam reservoir.

orz

why would rain fall?
there's no mountains
winds would just blow the clouds away

Very based, good luck

>if there is water, we will have rain

this is stupid, all seaside would be green otherwise

Better water than sand. If nothing else you can get more fish food out of it. And it should mitigate the weather since water takes more time to heat than plain earth or sand

>there's no mountains

What, egypt has a very irregular elevation

They live in a desert climate, the only reason they're there ag all is the river and delta

soon the delta will be gone egypt is doomed

it is though, egypts coastlines are the only places with regular rainfall
we grow olives and grapes there

Think of the possibilities! You could build a maldives style shallow beach resort town on the lake

You need proper soil for "green" vegetation, not karst

The problem is that with constant evaporation and inflow of saltwater, this will eventually become a huge dry salt flat
This is the main reason not to do it with a canal from the Mediterranean and instead aim for supplying it with Nile water, which is anyway running out, which means you need the Congo river project, which makes everything 1000 times more costly and complicated
