World Bank cancels ‘Red Sea-Dead Sea Water Conveyance’ project due to disagreement from Jordan – Roya News English

The World Bank confirmed Saturday that the regional water connection project known as the 'Read Sea-Dead Sea Water Conveyance,' which links the two seas has been cancelled.

The Red Sea–Dead Sea Conveyance, sometimes called the 'Two Seas Canal,' is a planned pipeline to run from the coastal city of Aqaba by the Red Sea to the Lisan area in the Dead Sea.

It was meant to provide potable water to Jordan, the Israeli Occupation and Palestine, wherein water with a high concentration of salt will be brought in to the Dead sea, to stabilise the Dead Sea water level, and generate electricity to support the energy needs of the project.
