What Happened to Libya's Great Man-Made River Project?

The vision behind the Great Man-Made River was truly ahead of its time.

How can you talk about the amount of water in km²? That makes no sense.

[@Thedemonmusic-k7x]

10k km2 is all space you can cover with water

[@kaf2303]

Who measures water in square meter? Did you mean cubic meters?

[@Harry_Gersack]

WOW. WRONG. Not even 3 minutes in and already so many mistakes. You're talking about the Kufra basin which actually is a region not an aquifer. And it's area is only 8000km^2 which isn't even close to the 350000km^2 you stated in the video. There is part of an aquifer beneath it, but that aquifer actually spans across Libya, Sudan, Chad and Egypt. So your map is also very wrong. Also you are repeatedly mixing up the measurements and units for areas and volume. You can't measure a volume in square kilometers. I won't even bother watching the whole video

[@AttilaAsztalos]

Sound like the script comes courtesy of ChatGPT.

[@19eightyforeisnow]

But you can measure in Sq kilometers.The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System is the world's largest fossil water aquifer system. It covers an estimated area of 2.6 million km2, including parts of Sudan, Chad, Libya, and most of Egypt

It is tragic how all the efforts of people who have worked to improve the lives of everybody in the country are derailed by men who like firing guns.

[@supremepartydude]

You never bothered to mention that this water is a non-renewable resource. 😂

[@ravi.k.t]

It can if they use rainwater harvesting

[@maimani8]

An example of the great doings of Nato and western empire.

[@christopherx7428]

The no-fly zone over Libya was NOT a Nato intervention but initiated and authorized by the UN security council in resolution 1973.

[@markorsrpska7230]

Why am I not surprised that someone with a Western name jumps in to rationalize the neo-colonial policies of the West. A leader who was brutally murdered by your own countrymen, no matter how eccentric, was the best for the job. What is happening now, western paradise in the country. You should shut up in shame. As Hillary put it elegantly : We come, we saw, he died...

Making a growing population absolutely dependent on a finite non rewable water source strikes me as a somewhat risky long term plan.

No its not. The water is abundant

[@ecoideazventures6417]

Libya needs to judiciously use its oil and water resources so that generations can utilise this god-gift!

[@luqmanmohd2737]

Amazing that an aquifer can be 200,000 km wide while the circumference of the earth being 40,000 km tops.

Let us not forget, other countries have constantly intervened in its governments attempts to govern without colonial powers attempting to exploit, it is important to understand what happens when people are not allowed to practice sovereignty which most African countries do not get to enjoy

[@19eightyforeisnow]

It's an actual used term, when large non renewable aquifers are found they are referenced as fossil water. It's a weird tern I agree but the correct one, although I feel like the Nubian aquafer isn't non renewable.
