  2. THE GREAT MAN-MADE RIVER PROJECT WATER RESOURCES IN LIBYA Only 5% of the entire area of Libya exceeds 100 mm (4 in) annually. Evaporation rates are also high ranging from 1700 mm (67 in) in the north to 6000 mm (236 in) in the south GROUND WATER 95.6% SURFACE WATER 2.3% DESALINATION 1.4% WATER TREATMENT 0.7%

  3. THE GREAT MAN-MADE RIVER PROJECT Jefara Green Mountains Hamada Sirt Murzug Kufra Mediterranean Sea Tripoli Benghazi Sirt Ajdabiya In a recent study conducted under the supervision of the UN Centre for Environment & Development in the Arab Region & Europe CEDARE, the Nubian Basin (of which Kufra is part) was estimated at containing 373.3 x 10^12 m3. If the neighboring countries extract water at a rate of 1380 MCMY it is calculated that the reserve would last 4860 years. Over extraction in these basins has resulted in seawater intrusion in the coastal aquifers with TDS levels reaching 7000ppm in the Tripoli region These basins contain 10,000 – 12,000 cubic Km. of economically extractable water

  5. THE GREAT MAN-MADE RIVER PROJECT 03 October 1983 The General People's Congress held an extraordinary session to draft the resolutions of the basic people's Congresses, which decided to fund and execute the Great Man-Made River Project. 28 August 1984 The leader of the Revolution lays the foundation stone in Sarir area for the commencement of the construction of the Great Man-Made River Project.

  14. THE GREAT MAN-MADE RIVER PROJECT Mediterranean Sea Tripoli Tunisia Tobruk Benghazi Sirt Ajdabiya Brega PCCP Plant Ghadames Jaghboub Egypt NE Jebel Hasouna Wellfield Sarir PCCP Plant Agricultural Land Developed 130,000 hectare approx. ( 20,000 farms ) About 100,000 existing farms will be supplemented with irrigation water from the project which will have great impact on their productivity and encourage the settlement of farmers and their families, hence a positive impact on the value of their property Algeria Sarir Wellfield E Jebel Hasouna Wellfield • The agricultural development projects are being carried out in three regions in Libya: • Benghazi Plains Region – net irrigated area 30,000 hectares 14,000 hectares to be developed as large farm projects. • Jefara Plains Region (Tripoli) - net irrigated area 80,000 hectares 1,500 hectares to be developed as large farm projects. • Al-Ghardabiya Plains Region (Sirt) - net irrigated area 20,000 hectares 5,400 hectares to be developed as large farm projects. Tazerbo • The agricultural development plan aims to: • Realize the highest possible rate of self-sufficiency in grain and fodder crops. • Increase the capital investment and job opportunities in the agricultural sector. • Produce raw materials for the food processing industry. • Encourage and support agricultural settlement. Tazerbo Wellfield American Companies have already invested in the development of Large Farm Projects: - 1300 Hectares – Benghazi Plains Region (this will be increased to 14,000 Hectares in the future) - 800 Hectares – Tarhouna - Valmont Valley supplying Irrigation equipment - Case supplying agricultural equipment • Investors with experience in the field are invited to participate in: • Implementation • Operation • Maintenance • Management and product marketing • Of the large farm projects Kufra Sudan 0 150 300 450 600 Km

  15. THE GREAT MAN-MADE RIVER PROJECT We can conclude that, adequate fresh water supplied by the gigantic GMRA project, have become an integral part of the infrastructure (including real estate) in all domestic, agricultural and industrial aspects, both in rural and urban areas, so as these areas grow, the need for infrastructure increase.

  16. THE GREAT MAN-MADE RIVER PROJECT Which results in: Encouraging people in rural areas to stay in their land, due to Agricultural expansion.

  17. THE GREAT MAN-MADE RIVER PROJECT In urban areas, the real estate prices will escalate due to the improvement of the life standards.
