High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Two Seas Canal (colloquially known as the Dead Red Canal) is a proposed canal which would run from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea and provide electricity and portable water to Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian Authority. This proposal has a major role in plans for economic cooperation between Israelis, Jordanians and Palestinians, through the Peace Valley plan. The water level in Dead Sea is shrinking at a rate of more than one meter per year, and its surface area has shrunk by about 30% in the last 20 years. This is largely due to the diversion of about 90% of the water volume in the Jordan River. In the early 1960s, the river moved 1.5 billion cubic meters of water every year from the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea. But dams, canals and pumping stations built by Israel and Jordan to divert water for crops and drinking have reduced the flow by 95% to about 100 million cubic meters.
