Qattara Depression: Can We Fill It?
Humanity will halt sea level rise in the next century. But how will we lower it back down? This is an introduction to the West Sea, codenamed Project Endor. The West Sea megaproject will be the largest artificial lake in the world. It takes advantage of the Qattara Depression, an area of land that lies below sea level which, when filled, will hold enough water to lower global sea levels 3mm. It will erase an entire year of sea level rise from the record, and then kickstart an ecosystem revival cascade, fundamentally altering the climate of Egypt and the surrounding areas for years to come.

Unrehearsed, unscripted, and recorded on a PHONE, I’m embarrassed to share this with you... but it’s THAT important to me. Over the summer I gave a presentation at an invite-only event I’d hosted. I talked about politics. Every year I share a political video around Election Day discussing ideas I’ve had on the subject as a philosopher, and this year I thought I’d take a risk and share the recor...
You’re Probably Part of a Political Sect

Political sectarianism, a new term in a paper released yesterday, is perhaps on of the biggest threats to democracy in the early 21st century, something even the Internet can’t fix on its own. It’s down to YOU.
Did This 180 Year Old Pattern Predict Trump Catching Covid-19?
Просмотров 883 года назад
President Donald Trump has just contracted the Coronavirus. He publicly announced this via Twitter early this morning (late his evening). What happens if Covid-19 incapacitates him, or causes his death, this close to the federal election? In this video I’ll be examining a few possible scenarios around his death and providing some historical comparisons. From the Election of 1872 with Ulysses S ...

The Richter Experiments of 1957 detail the astounding research of Hope and its biological effects. Studying the phenomenon of "psychogenic death", or psychologically generated death (death from belief), this study empirically reveals the impact on biological capability and survivability Hope can have. Also, sorry Norway. No Norwegian rats were not harmed in the making of this video, but that is...

I got hired for an international position overseas a few months back, but the Coronavirus put a freeze on hiring right before I got there. To help pass the time, I'm finishing the loft in my dads barn into a big living space. We call is our Coronavirus warehouse, it's deep in the countryside! Most of the construction you see in this video is mine, with assistance from dad of course. I expect I'...
2020 State of the Union Ending... But Not Spoken by Trump

The 2020 State of the Union speech given by President Donald Trump yesterday was pretty cool... but he's not a great public speaker. I gave my humble take on the speech, let's call it SOTU 2.0

It seems very stupid to store sea salty water while we can store the river water to help the people to plant and drink 😅
Great job you did, that was revolutionary... I am hoping that you would make a presentation about Chot Melghigh sea in the Algerian Tunisian Sahara desert... I would be so grateful thank you
Another thing to consider how it will affect marine life and chemistry of Mediterranean Sea.
Stay out of Egypt with this shit project
Shit project , you will wast a land
One lake will cool the planet? Hmmmmmm
In the 1950s, there was a proposal to use 215 nuclear bombs to excavate all the dirt for the channel. However, Egypt turned down the plan. Don't know why :)
If the rain would be true as described at 13:54, then it would rain all over the sahara as the wind comes from the mediteranean sea.
AWESOME. Wowwww
this kid needs to re educate himself so much miss information
Such as?
Egypt just has security problems. That's why all of that is on hold.
??? Care to explain the carbon belching volcanos in Iceland. Seems to me that it may be getting mighty hot up there...yes. The "Elites" are the 1% gobbling all the beachfront property despite all of the "Climate change" rhetoric they're pushing. 🤔 hmm.
The Mediterranean Sea - Qattara Depression channel is totally wrong. It will become a salt lake like Lake Assal in Djibouti. The water table will become contaminated with salt water. The ideal solution is to divert the Nile Rosseta River towards Qattara by building a lock at the Mediterranean Sea pepinieradeidei.blogspot.com/2024/05/devierea-fluviului-nil-de-la-varsarea.html
you forget that you can generate enery (electricity) as water move from a high area to a low area , and it will generate more mony than mining from the sea
Use a remote next time. you looking at your watch every 20 seconds is annoying
That’s what I was thinking! I seriously dislike smart watches, they are so awkward.
What you failed to mention, is the possibility of a hydro generating station , in bringing water from a higher level of the Med to the lower level of the depression...
Nooo ! And Never Get A REAL JOB !!!☺
No mention at all about any bad part. I guess there won't be any species pushed to extinction, because of new weather changes in the area, including human beings who live by the Nile river, right? the filter is going to be so perfect that any mediterranean fish will be trapped into the water tunnels, right? and all that new wonerful rain wont increase the Nile water level at all, right? so there won't be any need of relocating el Cairo and the rest of the nile delta overpopulated settlements, right? not to mention entire cities that would be covered by the new artificial sea, like Bawiti. because all that new rain putted artificially into Africa won't destabilize the hidric equilibrium of the entire african continent for any chance, right? all that new rain won't find it's way back to the oceans across the african puvial complexes, right? Lac tchad complex won't become a "collateral extra continental sea" right? because all that new rain will magically avoid to affect water levels in any other fragile hidric system, right? so all that people, plantations and animals living by the curses of african rivers and lakes on the north of central Africa won't be affected by any flood caused by the new extra anual rain, right? so there's no reason to fear that at the end, the african poor population and live species might be the ones who pay the price for some cool improvements in israel's weather, rigth? because affecting someone's life to improve some other's is something that no body would dare to do for any chance, right? In any case, the whole project brings only a 3mm solution for that what you describe as "the biggest threat to our civilization", it would be only 3 mm better! if tomorrow all ocean levels magically appear 3mm lower, almost no one would even notice. except it really doesn't even fix much, because all that new miraculous rain is actually going to be back into the oceans a couple of days after the first rain cicle. You are trying to make 80km3 of water to take a walk across Africa every year just to make it rain in Israel. Why is it legal to promote a project like this? Were's Greta to say "how dare you"?
Any one know how big these tunnels would be? I would like a little more detail. Do we have tunnel machines that big around?
Instead of filling with salt water they can divert Nile river during annual flood season and gradually fill it over a long time!.Now most of the Nile river ends up in the Mediterranean Sea!
Something new -2024- about this project??
Those bedrock dumbbells are going to be impossible to lift. Btw extremely cool build im working on one to
You are stretching the truth regarding sea level rise. I suggest you stop praying the St Greta and get real.
Nothing in the presentation shows to WHAT EXTENT this project would, in a couple of years or in the long run solve the problem indicated. It would clearly have more negative environmental / social consequences than positive ones, and would never keep up with dimisnishing the problem of rising sea level. Where does the CONSTANT 6% figure come from? The lake would not fit 6% of rising waters from the entire planet in a year. More worrisome is, what happens to destroying two of the main fresh water aquifers in Egypt (Moghra and Carbonate)? What happens to the soaring levels of salinity which will probably turn Qattara into another lifeless and fetid Gaet’ale Pond in the long run (after killing any rest of life that might exist in the desert). The Mediterranean Sea has not been able to "restore the ecosystem" in this region, despite sharing the same wind streams with the Quattara sea would have. How would making a smaller, more saline body of water just 60 kms away change anything? Plus, what are the consequences for Europe and Africa of taking the more superficial water from the Mediterranean, thus making this sea saltier as well? Proportionally to all the oceans increasing their levels at the same time, these 20,000km2 would probably hold the problem for a couple of weeks or months. What is the long-term (permanent) effect of implementing this project on the level of rising seas? The thesis proposed is not here defended.

This guy would make a good used car salesman. LOL
I don't get it. Is it a bad or good idea?
sea level rise lol
Summarizing some intelligent comments from other users: 1. Will it also drain Black Sea levels along with World Ocean? If yes.. then not a good idea even if it's 1mm per year. No good. 2. Putting underground fresh water reservoirs at risk.. is outright idiotic. 3. The filters will be clogged by salt as well which is far more prevalent in sea water, so I don't know.. whether it's a viable idea or not? If it was we wouldn't need this project to make it work. 4. Heat exchange won't work long-term. So ground and water temperature will be equal to water temperature and voila... This project only strives to use Africa to save the rest of the world's problems.. who would have thought? .. why not reverse it? It's time to give back to Africa. Here's my proposition, * Make it a FRESH Water reservoir, by dragging ICEBERGS... you will lose half the iceberg when towed to Egypt, but given that fresh water is already a dwindling resources, it can be done. Build an iceberg processing facility in South Africa and build a freshwater pipeline to Qattara. We have tens of thousands of kilometers of pipelines and laying one longitudinally across Africa shouldn't be an issue. We waste trillions of dollars on idiotic concepts just to keep the economies running, so why not chip in for something big and useful?
You wound like an NPC
Could generate hydro power as well?
Hey, I'm Egyptian. We're lowkey doing something like this right now, but the water goes through a filtration process to make the salty water fresh(I'm not an expert). You could check it. It's called the New Delta project.
Please advise what financial support you anticipate to come from the Egyptian Government as the key benefactor?
According to Al Gore all coastal city should have been underwater 10 years ago
"Humanity will halt sea level rise in the next century" men can control the weather now? what a croc this is.
insted of building a tunnel you could also build a pipe and have them funktion as a siphon.
A lake refers to fresh water a sea refers to salt water. It will become a sea not a lake. Please don't use misleading terms you take away your credibility. So hyper salinity is one problem. There will be a vast amounts of sea life that should get through to be a food source, So filtering may not be such a good idea. But a version of this may prove to be a very good idea.
we have a master plan of this project to fullfil with fresh water from Nile river and turn into lake and the large aria around the lake become a habitble land and make money
if you like this idea to give me a visa for study😅
I love how mid 20 something to late 30 somethings come up with these ideas like they have just discovered fire. If this idea was feasible, it would have already been tried. The technologies discussed here have been around for decades. I believe this idea was first brought up in the late 1800's by a French explorer that petitioned the French government for funding. All the different variants of this idea were shot down.
Another beautiful dream curb stomped by reality.
This shit is completely retarded. There’s land marks and light houses in bays and in open ocean areas that have been there for hundreds of years if not longer and the water level markers haven’t changed. Don’t buy this sea levels are rising BS guys
One thought I had about evaporating water leading to rain that’s nurturing the area: the Mediterranean is just close to it and still there is this vast desert. Evaporation doesn’t seem to be doing much.
What about filling the depression with fresh water captured in one of the wettest countries (rainfall) in the world such as The Congo? Ok if the Congo does not have the capture infrastructure, then what about by undersea plastic pipelines from the wettest countries in Europe such as The UK/Ireland? The UK's water capture system needs upgrading and this could be paid for by charging for water exported.
salt will increase in the water as it evaporates
i would like to know were this water is rising i havent seen it anywere
NO CLIMATE CRISIS...Average sea level rise is now less than foot a foot... IT IS NOT ACCELERATING. IPXC latest report...... LEARN SOMETHING NEW!!
are you still alive I would love to work on this with you
Another question (geological development time frames in mind): There is Salt deposits located below the Alps (still mined today) and how did they get there ?? If an Asteroid strikes that area and "creates" this connection FOC, it's merely an event to accept / done. So sure the "salt-water-lake" is a valid option to take into consideration. It can't be much more harmful than burning down the Amazonas.
Un intervento molto interessante da realizzare cambierebbe una gran parte della regione sicuramente in meglio , l' acqua porta sempre la vita. Spero venga realizzato
