The proposed conveyance would have pumped seawater 230 meters uphill from the Red Sea's Gulf of Aqaba through the Arabah Valley in Jordan. The water would then flow down gravitationally through multiple pipelines to the area of the Dead Sea, followed by a drop through a penstock to the level of the Dead Sea near its shore, thence via an open canal to the Sea itself, which lies about 420 meters ...
The facility produces 5,000,000 cubic metres (5.0 × 10 9 L) of potable water annually distributed to homes, industry, and agriculture in the Aqaba area. At that time a bigger project, the Red Sea–Dead Sea Water Conveyance (RSDSC), a collaborative effort between Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority was in the plans. [5]
The Dead Sea is receding at a swift rate; its surface area today is 605 km 2 (234 sq mi), having been 1,050 km 2 (410 sq mi) in 1930. Multiple canal and pipeline proposals, such as the scrapped Red Sea–Dead Sea Water Conveyance project, [11] have been made to reduce its recession.
The resulting fresh water can be used to irrigate the arid areas around the Dead Sea. The idea was revived during the 1980s for the purpose of power generation following the 1973 oil crisis. The Mediterranean–Dead Sea Company studied various alternatives and recommended a route from the Gaza Strip to Masada. However, the project did not ...
The Disi Water Conveyance Project from the non-renewable Disi aquifer to the capital Amman, opened in July 2013, increases available resources by about 12%. It is planned to bridge the remaining gap between demand and supply through increased use of reclaimed water and desalinated sea water to be provided through the Red Sea-Dead Sea canal.

From the Gulf of Aqaba to the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean, the modern version would expand two proposed water conveyance canals (Red Sea to Dead Sea, and, Mediterranean Sea to Dead Sea) into ship canals. Various proposals have existed since the construction of the Suez Canal. [4] [5] Panama Canal: Isthmus of Panama
