The purpose of creating this lake was to place dams across it and convert the constant flow of water from the Mediterranean into hydroelectric power. This would dwarf the power output already produced by the Aswan High Dam on the Nile.

@beepthemeep12 The issue is that given the heat of the Sahara region, the water would evaporate too quickly for erosion to get the job done. That's why such a large canal would've been needed: so that water would flow in faster than the rate of evaporation.

@undertyped1 That's not how global warming works. There's no prospect that it could turn the whole planet into an inhospitable desert. There will still be plenty of life on Earth if nothing is done about global warming. It's just that none of that life would be human.
