Mofeed Sawan
Examination of the Microbial Effect of Red Sea Water Incursion into the Dead Sea
Oakridge Secondary School<\/h3>\n

With the Dead Sea shrinking by 1 meter per year, connecting it to the Red Sea has been the most favoured solution. Research has shown that the Dead Sea is capable of holding life when diluted with freshwater. The focus of this project is to examine whether bacteria may be able to adapt to this new environment and which bacterium would be the most dominant. <\/p>\n
