Ariel Sharon is (or was) a big fan of the Med-Dead project to build a tunnel under Hebron and the southern West Bank (or Judea) and generate hydropower as water falls the 400 metres to the Dead Sea from the Mediterranean. There are a couple of problems with your Mediterranean idea apart from ecological/environmental ones (like reduced rainfall in the eastern Mediterranean, erosion in river valleys etc.).... first the evaporation rate might be a metre a year or so, so it would take a long time to get down to a substantially lower level. And second, current beach front property owners and harbor owners/operators etc, might be a little annoyed by this scheme of yours :) Now maybe we could dam up the Med and regulate the flow so that when sea level rises due to global warming we can keep the Med at current levels?
