I am an academic from Ethiopia. Looking for your contacts, our group is on the way to find financing for this or a similar Danakil canal project. Would like to debate a deeper analysis. Prof Marco Viganò, Addis Ababa.

Please project tunel , just 1 km huge pipe to Djibouti - Golf Gubet to Lac Assal

Please help to lobby project Dam to Rosseta Nil at 1 kilometer to Mediteranean Sea and 250 km canal to Nil Rosseta to Qattara Depresion

Greed wins again 😢

Man, this project makes so much sense.

This idea is too good not to happen.

Amazing Idea.

The Salton Sea is just a political football. Until neighboring states start suing California over the toxic dust that blowing across the country... causing a variety of illnesses. Even then there will be years... decades or more of finger pointing before anything is done. It's already too late. However, this solution is a Pipe dream...

What happend to the song by Leonard Miller? A long better than this one!

Transparent solar cells let filtered light into areas where humans appreciate reduced glare while generating solar electricity at same time. Some new solar designs allow for harvesting water from the air or provide solar thermal applications for heating water where needed. The ultimate idea would be panels filled with natural refrigerants for low temperature phase change applications that provide passive air cooling effect when heat is converted to cold reaction of non toxic freon when used.

Is Hurricane Hilary going to fill Laguna Salada? What do you think the chances are that this hurricane can open a channel from Laguna Salada to the south?

Is Hurricane Hilary going to refill Laguna Salada? Any chance this hurricane can open/erode a channel into Laguna Salada from the south?

In the north of Danakil Depression it should be possible to dig canal at the sea level so the water would flow naturally. The canal would be some 20 miles long starting near Horena village.

we need A HD & more organised version...

So what your saying is that by flooding low lying desert areas it changes the weather pattern. You could have just said that...

Interesting. I guess a new salty sea does NOT invade groundwater otherwise no one could live by ocean.. Plus water flows like 1ft a year thru sand, it'd take 1000 years to do much?

Don’t worry, Senator John Hickenlooper is pulling together a caucus to talk and talk and talk. This video is only been posted 4 years already.

Highly doubt eritrea would agree to this but it's really cool

Makes so much sense. Both are below sea level. No pumping. If Mexico would allow it. Make it beneficial to both countries. The Salton Sea basin has been connected with the ocean in the past. Hopefully any agricultural runoff could be treated before it reaches the Salton Sea also.

Lost...Leonard Miller....gooooooooood tune.

We have farmed in California’s Imperial Valley since the 1960s, and done so, with increasingly less water from the Colorado River. Meanwhile, LA, Phoenix, and San Diego--all huge users of Colorado River water--have ballooned into the 2nd, 4th, and 5th largest cities in the US. None of these cities is near a natural fresh water supply. LA County alone has more people than 40 individual states. I can understand wanting to live on the coast, and in Arizona, but realistically something will have to give. While the various players in this matter try and work out a water sharing compromise, a huge problem is coming down the road many have never heard of: the shrinking Salton Sea. Located just south of Palm Springs, the Salton Sea is the largest inland body of water in California. It is fed by agricultural runoff. It is shrinking rapidly. IMHO, once its levels reach a critical point, and the Santa Ana Winds blanket wealthy beach front homes in Orange County with alkaline salt the Sea currently covers, a compromise solution will finally be in the works. In other words, once the super wealthy are seriously affected by a dwindling water supply, a solution to the water woes of the Southwest US will be created immediately. Isn't this usually how things work? Thanks for reading.

Boo👻🥸🧐🤲🖖🐝🦉

@Agess, Inc. Your concept is well detailed and a very logical/simple solution. It makes so much sense that I wonder how this wasn't drawn up decades ago. My question is how come this hasn't gained full traction? My only reasoning would be 2 things. It pertains to a small quiet section of a desert community with benefits primarily to just a stagnant lake (outside perspectives) and there's red tape on the Mexicali side as this involves a ton of labor and the majority of effort for this project falls on Mexicos side of the border. Let's be honest, this project would benefit the Salton Sea more so than Mexicali. I'll speak objectively from a negative stance then get to my point for a positive solution, stay with me. What incentive would Mexicali have? A body of salt water in Laguna Salada? They already have a 600mi sea of Cortez literally next door. Blowing a 170ft hole in their mountain for this canal might not set well with the locals either. Then we want to pump even more salt water back out into their delta as a drain? This strictly benefits the US from this concept. Make it lucrative for their community to get this ball rolling by benefiting them equal to or more than the US. Two modifications to this concept would gain interest and benefit both sides of the border immensely. 1. You have 80° water in the sea of Cortez sitting in one of the hottest regions in the world. Distillate (hyper evap) right from their coast, channel an aqueduct to a scraped/deepened and banked Laguna Salada giving them a fresh water reservoir with boosted elevation they can add to their canal network and water source while making its journey north. This next part is what would gain interest on a much larger scale for funding on a federal level. On the east bank of the Salton Sea distillate again then pump it ~1700ft up the Red Canyon? Then at the bend near i10 fork it north and east. North can be used to replace the Colorado aqueduct relieving ~1b gallons per day and the east fork can can fall into the basin below the Parker dam boosting the flow of water helping the flush of the delta. As far fetched as this sounds making the engineering marvel of the Colorado River Aqueduct obsolete, it's not. Powell and Mead are already making national news. Next in line is Havasu. If it gets anywhere near its two higher tributaries it renders both the CRA and CAP obsolete anyway. Benefitting Mexico: • Full US funding boosting their economy 10fold putting hundreds of their locals to work • Long term local jobs with maintaining this new aqueduct. Paying Mexicali annually to maintain this new "aqueduct" assures the US water stays flowing and most importantly guarantees Mexico their share of water as they can tap it first. • Huge water supply boost for local agriculture. • Clensing their delta with a fresh water increase to an already depleted Colorado river. Benefiting the Southwest US: • Revitalizing the Salton Sea. Detoxing the lake tremendously with two sources. • Creates a "drain" for the lake that can be used again maximizing utilization. • Can make a big impact on water released from Mead by replacing the Colorado aqueduct and relieving releases from Parker dam. Water not needed from Havasu can be retained behind Hoover. • Can create more Ag and ultimately jobs. Create tax revenue thru employment and new harvesting lands in route down the box canyon to the Colorado River basin. • Electricity required to pump this water ~1700ft from the east bank can be aquired from 2 sources. Hydro electric from multiple places down the Salton sink and the ~1400ft drop over 80mi trek towards blythe. Also the power required for pumping of the CRA would no longer be used if replaced. Multiple energy sources here to make this happen. Hope I didn't bore you! =) Think it over and goodluck!

Can you give me a status of this project.. I read that its moving in a great direction...

1. At 11:44- 11:50 wind/solar pumped hydro-electric storage reservoir. Or something close to what was said (sorry post-concussion Issue). Please tell me where it will be located. I hope a lottery winner will help facilitate these endeavors! 2. See “Greening The Desert” for permaculture making the most of limited rainfall. 3. Please search RUclips for water-hammer pump. A water-hammer pump lifts nearly 7x the incoming water head.

What do you feed the fin fish and the shrimp?

Is it possible to use the large pound as fish farm aswell? And the water will get so salty after years of evaporation & might not sustain life so this project will need a constant in & out flow of water. Olso should make sure that the drinkable lakes nearby won't be in danger need to conduct a study on effects & risks of seawater intrusion into fresh water in the area.

This is an amazing video, thank you. I've been very interested in this kind of stuff since I worked in the Sahara. This is the kind of thing that gives me hope for the future, we must do it!

With rising Sea levels, wouldn't it be prudent to do an environmental survey on the impact of having a Mega Port constructed at the Laguna Salada in 30 years?

i am from Romania and i want to work to find international funding for the Danakil Canal project. Please support me for using the videos you posted on youtube. I want to make a more complex material and ask for funding to carry out the feasibility study of the Danakil Canal project and its advantages.I want to pass on the project to all embassies, the United Nations and the World Bank.I want the consent of the Eritrean government to create an offschore zone and free land to development the project.I want to build a tourist area around the future Danakil Lake. I want the kiting schools to be headquartered in futures Danakil lake. The level of rain will help the flow of the river Nile to end the water conflict in the region. Regions need to be taught and helped to manage rainwater. Equipment will be purchased to dig small areas of rainwater accumulation, to avoid flooding and to deforest desertified areas.

Ya but is this like world economic forum plans

More cheddar in adapting to sea level rise than just stopping it ?. It's all about the big bucks! so this will never happen? . . .It makes too much sense to fill this 😅😂. People will flourish 🤔.

The restoration of the Laguna salada is a complete misnomer. The Laguna salada has always been an overflow basin for the Colorado and Gila rivers. It was never filled with only sea water, and has never been permanently full. If it is filled artificially and the Gila river floods like it did in the 90’s the water will have no place to go and it will cause massive flooding. Also there is a fair amount of agriculture around the salada and flooding with salt water could contaminate sweet water wells. As a resident of the Laguna salada I support running pipelines or a limited canal through to the salton sea to help out. But artificially flooding the whole thing could end in disaster

I love this. I’m excited for the future! Would love to help

this its dangeorus for Mexico National secure , stay away for the boder!! you want sea water? take it of te Pacific!!!!

definitivamente esto es peligrosos para la seguridad nacional de Mexico , es darle paso libreA usa por un canal navegable al mar de cortez, eses es el verdadero fin de esto , NO A ESTE PROYECTO

This is a year old video . It's this project startl going ?

Importing gravity fed ocean water into the barren desert sand at many locations throughout the world will increase much needed rainfall, carbon sequestration and economic sustainablity.

Are there or have there ever been desert puff fish in the Salton Sea?

Do you need volunteers ?..... My precious persona it's ready !.... 👋

Shasta lake will overflow as Laguna salada evaporates. the whole central valley will become a lake again, that lake is the hand of God ,when it comes to controlling our weather in California and Western Nevada. Those old dams won't be able to retain all the water as Laguna salada evaporates

You do know that Tulare will be lake again .San Rafael and the Bay area all the Modesto area will be underwater, you do know that right? Overflow destroying Sacramento. Laguna salada is is the hand of God when it comes to controlling the weather

Changing my Valley thanks ❤️💪👏🏽👏🏽🌎

Rob & Nathan the Tunnel under Mt. Signal was less than $100 million not the 1/2 Billion or $500 million that Rob has stated in his presentation. It is not right that you throw out costs that you Rob do not have the background to estimate. see time 20:10 for bad or inaccurate commentary.

I really think you are onto something with the wave amplification and also the back flow preventer at the mouth of cortez. This could literally pump Laguna full or water in short order. We could then start planting salt water crops and running a solar desal plant.

Best idea!

Any progress on getting some of these installed on the Salton Sea? Seems like a no brainer.

Im curious, how high would sea levels have to rise for the gulf of california to push inland to the salton sea? It looks like on the elevation maps ~20-30 feet, but I cant be too sure. Im sure you guys have a better idea of how much exactly would cause this.
