The Qatar (or Qattara) Depression Project was a proposal to build a hydroelectric power plant by connecting the depression (located near Alexandria in Egypt) to the Mediterranean Sea by an 80km tunnel. Since the depression is over 130m seep and climate is very hot and dry the water level will reach a steady state, balanced by evaporation. A secondary benefit is that the evaporation will increase the rainfall and decrease the temperature in the area, both welcome changes. There are no permanent settlements in the depression, which is partially covered by hostile salt beds, so no population (besides a few nomads) needs to be moved.
The project is similar to a better known plan of connecting the Mediterranean to the Dead Sea in Israel. Both proposal are nearly 100 years old.

What was the purpose of implementing arts during the great depression?
Implementing arts during the Depression was basically a way to allow Americans an outlet for all their hardships. People went to art galleries and went to see "pictures" (movies) and it allowed them to escape from the harsh, but improving, life of the Depression. As part of Roosevelt's New Deal, the Federal Theatre Project, the Federal Art Project, the Federal Music Project, and the Federal Writers' Project employed thousands of musicians, artists, actors, writers, and dancers under the WPA. This not only proved an escape for many Americans, but it also put the artistic community back to work.
