Promised Land irrigation plans aim to reclaim Palestine
Plans drawn from Mec hanix illustrated sketches and Dr Walter Lowdermilk propose bringing Mediterranean water to Haifa to fill a reservoir 300 feet above sea level. Water would power a regional plant then flow via canals to the Jordan Valley and Dead Sea area. The project would dam the Jordan below Lake Tiberias to divert fresh water for irrigation across about 600000 acres.
