Why no one ever tried to flood this place?

Give me one reason why egypt should not build a channel (less than 50000km) and build a huge artificial lake?
They would increase they farm land. They would have a cheap transportation to the center of the country using the channel.
Red pill me Sup Forums.
It's a desert m8.
Yes. It's a desert with extremely low humidity.
Can we fix it?
Also, i am not fucking blind.
I just discover that hug trees destroyed the project.
Apparently, the desert is more important that the people surviving it.
Take off the autism goggles for a moment and really think about it. What does a lake need to be sustained?
Um, the Nazis had a plan for it...
Water.
A shame that 50000km away from the hole did not exist a body of water...
It would dry up like that seasonal lake in Tunisia
Not with continuous flow from the Mediterranean sea.
yeah, you could make the Dead Sea 2: Deadest Sea by pumping Mediterranean brackish water into it.
but the better result is, that it would filter into ground water and gradually moisten Western Egypt.
No, rain, you fucking idiot. Rain and a watertable.
it could also serve as a huge evaporation basin to make rain in the general area.
With a continuous influx from Mediterranean sea, it would never dried up.
Yeah, it will be extremely salty since the soil is already salty and the amount of water that will evaporate will left tons of salt.
Yes, it will also increase he air humidity for Chad and Sudan (looking at the wind map)
Wouldn't it just get unusably salty as the surface water evaporates off
>as the surface water evaporates off
Yes, but it will fill again since the channel would not be blocked.
As our Israel friend said. It will be another dead sea.
But solar desalinations are practical. And guess who is almost in the equator line? (you can pump salty water from the lake and desalinate it to pump to farm land)
The Egyptian government doesn't attempt projects that are too complex for the average Egyptian to comprehend, only meme shit like expanding the Suez canal.
t. egyptian
I doubt the egyptian desert is in need of huge salt water lake m8
>50000km
What?
WTF, i did not even know where i got this number.
>too complex for the average Egyptian to comprehend
Like you
>t.
>They would increase they farm land
Yes, because salt water is so good to farming.
Desalination plants and increase in the rain would not help?
>Desalination plants
You don't need a huge fucking lake for that.
>increase in the rain
It's really close to sea, so I doubt anything going to change.
And I don't understand why Egypt would need anything like that. Nile providing more than enough farmlands.
The mountain niggers are building a dam,the nile will dry up
Is this true?
Is this true?
Yes, Ethiopia's Renaissance dam should reduce the Nile's water level in Egypt and Sudan by a quite a bit
They can do it?
>Ethiopia's Renaissance dam
>Once completed, the reservoir will take from 5 to 15 years to fill with water.
This mean, 5 to 15 years without a decent flow of water?
Not an expert on dams, but I guess that will happen
>mfw fucking ethiopia is publicly declaring they're gonna cuck Egypt and Egyptians are too full of 6a3meye to care
There's a similar project at mi Uni, the depression it's -37 below sea. The hydroelectric potential with tide cycles it's really big.
Unemployment rate in Argentina is 10%, just give them some shovels and kill two birds with one stone
Now is also under discussion the construction of a nuclear power plant in the province, and other dams with more priority. But a 80 km long lake in the desert wil be nice, there's only salt now.
