History and Long-Term Fate of the Great Man-Made River in …
Libya's Great Man-Made River Project (GMMRP) is the world's largest irrigation project, a vast network of pipes bringing ancient fossil water from deep underground aquifers to the coast for drinking and agriculture, aiming for self-sufficiency, but it's stalled by conflict, facing major maintenance issues, security threats, and incomplete Phases 3, 4, and 5, though efforts continue to revive it.
Project Overview
Goal: To make Libya agriculturally self-sufficient by irrigating desert lands and providing fresh water to cities.
Source: Taps vast Nubian Sandstone Aquifer reservoirs beneath the Sahara Desert.
Scale: An immense network of 4-meter wide, pre-stressed concrete pipes, stretching over 2,800 km, designed to move millions of cubic meters of water daily.
Phases & Progress
Phases I & II: Largely completed before the 2011 revolution, establishing the main network.
Phase III: Linked the first two phases, creating a bi-directional flow, but remains incomplete.
Phases IV & V: Planned extensions to western and northeastern parts of the country, severely delayed and not yet started due to instability.
Challenges & Current Status
Conflict & Instability: Post-2011 conflicts disrupted construction, damaged infrastructure (like pipe factories), and forced foreign companies to withdraw due to security risks.
Deterioration: Years of neglect and conflict have led to decaying infrastructure, requiring significant investment in repairs.
Security: Ongoing instability hinders maintenance and prevents the restart of key works.
Sustainability: Concerns exist about the long-term reliance on non-renewable aquifer water.
Future Outlook
Despite setbacks, the project remains vital for Libya's water security, with current efforts focused on maintenance, repairs, and planning for the final phases.
Libyan engineers are working to revive the project, with new plans for extensions and connections, including towards Derna and the Egyptian border, to improve water distribution.
