Petra project
There are only two places on earth that are lower than sea level. These are the dead sea and death valley. My project is to use this to create electricity like a dam does but this project would cost much
less and not waste fresh water that we can keep for human welfare instead of wasting it to create electricity.
less and not waste fresh water that we can keep for human welfare instead of wasting it to create electricity.
Why is this important?
While we are using fresh water resources to create electric energy we could in some extremely concerned areas like California create electricity with salt water. If you look at satellite pictures of the Las Vegas area through a thirty year period thirty years ago we see that lake mead is three times bigger than las Vegas. Now the city is three times bigger than lake mead. Water has become a precious resource. We should not waste it to produce electricity if we can use salt water.
