If the hydroelectric power from the flow of ocean water into the new inland sea, plus whatever help can be gotten from local solar power, is not enough to desalinate the water and pump the brine back to the ocean, wouldn’t it be better just to leave the new sea permanently connected, as broadly as possible, to the ocean? This way, the water would stay roughly at the same level as the ocean, and salt would find its way back there just as it does through the Bosporus and the Strait of Gibraltar.
