Artificial sea for Sahara near reality
An American engineer, Dwight Braman of Boston, plans to irrigate the Sahara and create a inland sea by flooding desert lakes, with a harbor in the Gulf of Kabes as the main source. A new company, Compagnie Sahara, is formed under French law with notable directors including Sir George Armstrong and John F. Stevens. Braman cites trials and hydro resources, claiming 166 rivers and two subterranean streams exist, enabling irrigation south of the Aures Mountains. The project envisions dams costing 1.2 million dollars each to produce a fertile belt across the Sahara.
