QaThafi Nile faces threats and outages
Libyans primarily rely on the Great Man-Made River as a source of clean water. It is the largest project for transporting groundwater in the world, costing $35 billion. The system supplies the country with more than 6.5 million cubic meters of water daily through a network of pipelines stretching across the desert. Despite repeated power outages and attacks on the infrastructure resulting from political conflict and divisions, maintenance teams have managed to keep the operations ongoing and continue water production despite challenging conditions. The deteriorating economic and social conditions of workers, reduced funding, and security threats threaten to deplete this vital system, which is considered one of the most significant achievements of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime. It plays a crucial role in providing drinking water to major Libyan cities.
