Norwegian engineer plans power from Dead Sea tunnel
Albert Hjorth proposes a 87 mile tunnel from the Mediterranean to the Dead Sea to generate electricity for pumping stations irrigation and general use. Water would rise through pipes to the Dead Sea where a plant would produce light and power distributed across the country.

The Dead Sea surface would rise modestly and land would be irrigated via parallel canals along the Jordan.
