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 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 to the Lisan area in the Dead Sea. It will provide potable water to Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian territories, bring sea water to stabilise the Dead Sea water level and generate electricity to support the energy needs of the project. The project is going to be carried by Jordan and is entirely in Jordanian territory. The project will be financed by the government of Jordan and a
