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
Brine shrimp salt water to hatch under optimum conditions. As a result, a high sensitivity to cosmic radiation was observed on "Artemia salina" eggs; 90% of the embryos, which were induced to develop from hit eggs, died at different developmental stages. Brine shrimp Artemia is a genus of aquatic crustaceans also known as brine shrimp. "Artemia", the only genus in the family Artemiidae, has changed little externally since the Triassic period. The first historical record of the existence of "Artemia" dates back to the first half of the 10th century AD from Urmia Lake, Iran, with an example called by an Iranian
