Politics and Sustainable Use of Libyan Water Resources

Dr. Egemen Sertyesilisik

Abstract :

 Water is essential for life. Libya is among the countries suffering from the water shortages. The Great Man Made River Project enabled transfer of water from the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS), an important water resource for Libya, to the northern part of the Libya. Libya should try to diversify its water resources through desalination of water as NSAS’s water is non renewable and as one day water of the aquifer will exhaust. For this reason, as Libya has long coastline, desalination of water through wave energy has the potential for contribution to the solution of the water scarcity problem in Libya and to sustain the peace among the Nubian countries.
