Abstract

When completed, Libya's Great Manmade River Project will transport through a system of pipelines 12–14 million m3 of water per day from the southern region of the country to the northern coastal areas. The system will provide water for municipal, industrial and agricultural users. This paper describes the project, the uses to which its water will be put and the institutional issues which need to be addressed when the Great Manmade River Project delivers vast quantities of water to the coastal areas. The biggest problem for Libya could be finding and training the vast numbers of technical people needed to manage and operate the system.
