Great Man-Made River

The Great Man-Made River is a massive engineering project in Libya that transports underground water from distant aquifers in the Sahara Desert to cities along the coast. Built to address water shortages, it involves large pipelines and pump stations that move millions of cubic meters of water daily. This infrastructure provides essential freshwater for agriculture, industry, and households, supporting Libya's development and stability. It’s one of the world's largest and most complex water transfer systems, exemplifying how engineering can solve resource scarcity by tapping into hidden water reserves deep beneath the desert.
