Why Israel is Dumping Water into the Desert | The Reverse River

Описание: The Sea of Galilee was dying. In 2018, the water level dropped to the "Black Line"—the point of no return where ancient salt springs would erupt and kill the ecosystem forever.

Israel, a desert nation, had plenty of water from desalination plants on the coast, but it was all in the wrong place. So engineers did something that had never been done in history: they reversed the flow of a river.

This is the story of the "Reverse Water Carrier"—an audacious engineering project to pump the Mediterranean Sea, desalinate it, and pour it back into nature to save a biblical lake and stabilize the Middle East.

In this video, we uncover:

The Black Line: Why the Sea of Galilee was inches away from permanent ecological collapse.

The Paradox: How Israel became a water superpower while its most famous lake dried up.

The Reverse River: The engineering challenge of pumping water 30km uphill into a natural ecosystem.

Water Diplomacy: How this project created a "Water for Energy" trade with Jordan.
