I like the plan to replenish lake chad by building canals to connect upper Charri river with Congo river

Lake chad is enough to provide water for the sahel region people. Just neglection and don't care altitude with the leaders and INFERIORITY and lack of leadership skills among most of them is what is making this people from this region suffer. If someone has led a country 30 years yet having oil in his land and people in that area are the poorest then .INFERIORITY and lack of leadership skills is the answer. For sure Africa people should stop fighting and try to address the matter peacefully. Justice to be adhered to, and severe actions be taken to all law breakers. We should have an African court that punishes all law breakers no matter their position

Lake Limning: Rebuilding Destroyed/Vanished and Seriously Reduced Lakes The Aral Sea and Lake Chad or probably the two best known examples of lakes that were once huge and have shrunk to almost nothing in recent years. They should be revived. Most would say the amount of water to refill them will be too big/expensive of a task to complete in a timely fashion so they shouldn't be done. The reason is simple. These people don’t care about the ecosystems; they care about the economics. But there is a solution that doesn;t totally fill in these lakes or others like them but make the inevitable filling of them far more promising. It is called lake limning. Lake Limning The first thing you have to do is decide how large you want the lake's permiteres to be. Once you figure this out you build the earth to hold a canal between the lake and the land. This strip of land is called the limn, or limned terrain and may be built where the lake is or may be built outside of the lake's boundaries as a dug canal. But the limned land is the strip that will be on the opposite side from land when the water channel is filled. This is a process where you set the parameters of the lakes intended size and you build the 2 sides of land that will hold the shipping canal for two of the most pivotal aspects of the lakes that economics will want without having to pay all the money and wait all the time for the lakes to fill. On the outside you will have land that is beyond the lake and on the other you will have the limn terrain that is wide enough to hold the canal. You may also have some larger sections of limn terrain so structures can be put on both sides. You start off at the rivers and lakes that are not part of the lake or sea and lay the lans as you wish. This is called bordering. All You Need Is Lining On bottom of water you would lay lining and then dirt and when all the way filled in sandbags filled with aquatic plant life on top of the wrappings. Building Ecosystem The good thing about this is that those who want the ecosystem of the water way can have it added to the land side and the limned side if there are sections of the limned land that are wider. They may not be wide in many places but in other places marges could stretch for hundreds of miles from land that is below the waterline to start with and other parts where the land is dug out several feet or so so marshes can be planted once the place is flooded. Advantages of limned system It allows huge lakes like lake chad and the aral sea to have real estate of water without filling in the whole body of water until a desired time and also allows for economy and cheap logistics. But it also allows for the lakes to be built to a size far greater than they were when they began to be depleted in the 1960’s. Builders may decide to make them 2/3/4 times their size if land farther out can border them naturally or walls can be built and most of that water space can be for marshlands and uninhabited islands or countless islands connected by bridges that don;t need to be expensive at all and many of them may float on the water for most of their spans. AND THIS IS HOW I WOULD BUILD THEM. WITH THE CAPABILITY TO BE MANY TIMES THEIR ORIGINAL SIZES WITH THE LIMN TECHNIQUE WITH MOST OF THE EXTENDED TERRITORIES BEING MARSHLANDS SWAMPS AND UNINHABITED ISLANDS BUT HAVING MAN, MANY HABITABLE ONES FOR THE WEALTHY AND SMALL TOWNS SOME LARGER ONES AND CITIES FOR TOURIST SAKE, AND FILL THE LAKES IN LATER. AND WITH MOST BRIDGES BEING FLOATING BRIDGES AND SELECT CANALS FOR DIFFERENT SIZED BOATS SO SHIPPING CAN BE CARRIED OUT WITH SOME DEEPER SMALL AREAS FOR RECREATION AND SHIPPING. SOME LARGER ONES AND CITIES FOR TOURIST SAKE, AND FILL THE LAKES IN LATER. This way you can get all the huge economic benefits at far less price and time and it will seem natural to fill it in when the time is right. Within the marshes having many canals for smaller boats to get through and some deeper lake areas for certain fish will allow for a fishing industry. Not anything like the full lake but that can come when the lake is refilled. The other good thing about lake limning is it lets you know where you can’t build because you wouldn’t build within the bed of the lake because this process would be the first step in refilling the lake, though that process may come way later. Because the canals would be limned in storms the water levels may overflow and so pipes to move excess water to the dried up lake far in the dry middle could be used to raise the lake levels. This would be part of the refill strategy though it may not work all that well in very dry regions every drop counts.
