That's right, there was an actual completely serious plan to bomb the hell out of a desert to make it more livable. The long story short version is that there's a depression in the desert that is 34 miles from the ocean so being a perfectly logical person, there was a proposition to nuke a line to the depression and create a lake several years ago. I can only imagine the conversation.
Egypt: sorry digging a river would just be too costly.
Construction team: but nuking it would save time and money.
Egypt: what!?
Construction team: what?
Egypt: Just don't...
