Managing water for peace in the Middle East The Qattara depression is located in the north-western part of Egypt and is the world's fifth deepest natural depression. The utilization of the Qattara depression to develop hydroelectric power was first suggested by the Berlin geographer Professor Penk in 1912, and later by Dr. Ball in 1927. In comparison with the Qattara scheme, the Galala-Red Sea scheme would have two advantages: (1) it would avoid the substantial capital cost of an intake tunnel or canal with a length of 60-80 km; (2) there are likely to be fewer environmental problems with the artificial lake. www.unu.edu /unupress/unupbooks/80858e/80858E0a.htm   (3328 words)

Western Desert The Libyan or El-Diffa Plateau in north-western Egypt extends from the Libyan border to the Qattara Depression, north of 29 N, reaching a height of 215 m a.s.l..

Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Saharan halophytics (PA0905) The human population of the Qattara and Siwa Depressions is small. Moreover, there is a proposed project to flood the Qattara Depression with seawater to make an inland sea that would destroy the natural habitats and replace them with a large salt lake. An additional threat is the continued natural drying of the area (perhaps induced by global warming), which might result in the complete loss of wetland habitats and their replacement with salt flats and sand areas similar to those seen widely in the Sahara Desert. worldwildlife.org /wildworld/profiles/terrestrial/pa/pa0905_full.html   (1756 words)
