Arab–Israeli peace projects regional problems of acute shortage of clean fresh water in Jordan, and the rapid contraction of the Dead Sea. A new desalination plant to be built near the Jordanian tourist resort of Aqaba would convert salt water from the Red Sea into fresh water for use in southern Israel and southern Jordan; each region would get eight billion to 13 billion gallons a year. This process would produces about as much brine as a waste product; the brine would be piped more than 100 miles to help replenish the Dead Sea, already known for its high salt content. This would

When the length was driven, another would be screwed to it, and that would be forced down by pressure from above. Length after length was added, until a continuous pipe of or was formed and the salt water "bubbled up." The State operated water and steam powered "pump rooms" in each of the four districts; Geddes, Liverpool, Salina and Syracuse. The pumps forced brine water from the lake into tall reservoirs. The brine was raised by pumps with an endless wire rope chain that was powered
