Lake Bardawil and Sinai Desert Restoration Project

6. PROPOSED SOLUTION

Regenerating Lake Bardawil Regreening the Sinai Desert Restoring the ancient hydrological cycle

Marine Engineering Large-Scale regeneration: Impact on local climate:

› Deepening and widening inlets and lake gullies to improve tidal › Local and national embedded co-created masterplan based on a › Increase of precipitation by strategic ecosystem
energy in the lake and water exchange with the Mediterranean Sea collaborative interscalar integral planning approach for regenerative regeneration and water retention
landscape development of a total area of ~30,000 km².
› Establish a morphologic stable system with minimal maintenance › Improved climate conditions for water- and food security
Resource Based Dredging:
Coastal reinforcement: › Unprecedented carbon sequestration
› Reuse fertile sediments for regreening
› Strengthen natural suppletion processes along the coast › Socio-economic benefits for a better livelihood and future
› Sustainable sediment treatment perspective
› Intelligent re-use of dredged material for reinforcement
Fresh Water management:
Wetland development:
› Water Harvesting
› Improve and restore lake shoreline wetlands
› Flash flood prevention
› Increase surface area of lake wetlands (low lying areas)
