French Engineer's Plan To Channel Med Into Dead Sea For Power
A French engineer proposes pumping the Mediterranean inland to the hill above the Jordan Valley and spilling over to the Dead Sea to generate 400000 horsepower. The scheme would use Haifa as a pumping harbor with eight locks, tunnels, a two mile forebay, and two hydroelectric stations to supply Palestine. Cost estimated at 50 to 100 million dollars.
