The Red Sea Dead Sea Water Conveyor (RSDSWC) Project

History, Progress Description of the project and introduction of the Dead Sea: Dead Sea, the most salty lake, and the lowest place on Earth. Israel and Palestine to the west, Jordan to the east. Salt is about 10 times the average of the world's oceans. The tourism and chemical industries benefit from the high salt concentration. Due to its high buoyancy, visitors can float in the water. Chemical plants can produce large amounts of salt water by evaporation to make fertilizer.

The Water Price Agreement, a part of Israel, Jordan, the Palestinian Autonomous Government's large-scale Red Sea - Dead Sea Transportation Project, has constructed a pipeline to move the Red Sea water from the mountain to the Dead Sea Basin. The party will provide more desalinated water and increase the amount of water to the Dead Sea. For over 10 years, this pipeline project has been the subject of intense and difficult negotiations between the three parties. Despite the fact that the Israeli army has full control over occupied Palestinians, from the Palestinian perspective this negotiation process is one of the continuing fight of equality and justice with the other two countries. Even if the parties agree on the project in principle it is not fair to use Israeli power to force Palestinians to accept.

Of course, water is still a major concern for developing countries. In Jordan, the European Investment Bank signed a cooperation agreement to provide technical assistance and advice on the first stage of the Red Dead Sea project in May. It is part of the groundbreaking regional water sharing initiative between Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, and Israel. Not only the surrounding water but also the tension will affect the Middle East. EDB Water Economist, Mr. Eduard Perralud, says: "This requires a donor's commitment, but it is a major project and an indicator of how important water is for development and safety."
