Egypt has a plan to build a 55 kilometer long canal from the Mediterranean Sea to the Qattara Depression, flooding the desert into an 18,000 square kilometer hypersaline lake, while generating hydropower. Eventually, the water would then evaporate, leaving behind a ten meter thick salt pan. The project would generate jobs and provide clean energy, but would cost billions.
