Sea level the warmer water expands. For at least the last 100 years, sea level has been rising at an average rate of about per year. Most of this rise can be attributed to the increase in temperature of the sea and the resulting slight thermal expansion of the upper of sea water. Additional contributions, as much as one-quarter of the total, come from water sources on land, such as melting snow and glaciers and extraction of groundwater for irrigation and other agricultural and human uses. Pilots can estimate height above sea level with an altimeter set to a defined barometric pressure.
Red Sea–Dead Sea Water Conveyance used by Jordan and the Palestinians. Concerns regarding Israel's nuclear facility are irrelevant as the Dimona reactor is cooled by heavy, not normal (i.e., light) water. Under the current proposal, water sufficient only to prevent the Dead Sea from dehydrating will flow through the system, preventing salt water flow into wells. The World Bank study recommended re-routing the conduit to avoid the geological faults of the Araba Valley. Red Sea–Dead Sea Water Conveyance The Red Sea–Dead Sea Conveyance, sometimes called the Two Seas Canal, is a planned pipeline that runs from the coastal city of Aqaba by the Red Sea
