In accordance with World Water Day on Friday 22 March, the
Ministry of water resources issued by the General National Congress
issued a statement, claiming Libya suffers from the scarcity of sanitary
water for different uses, which may hinder the development and
advancement of the country.
Efforts to search for additional water resources, and the development of available resources were called on by the Ministry. They hope to maintain a scientifically sound method to ensure the resources can be sustained for future generations.
They warned of the risks the environment is facing, if the correct measures are not put in place to ensure proper management of the resources. Groundwater, located below the earth’s surface, represents 97% of the total resources available, and mostly comes from non-renewable underground reservoirs.
The statement noted that Libya has several desalination plants in most coastal area, and had established many sewage plants across Libya. Yet, despite the building of eighteen major dams, surface water resources does not exceed 1.5% of the total water available for use due to the lack of overland water sources.
Stressing the need for further research into desalination – the process in which salt is removed from water – and raising awareness on environmental projects aimed at sustaining Libya’s water should be at the forefront of any projects, the Ministry added. The added that there should be an expansion of the participation of civil service in water management for reasons of conservation and awareness of responsibility.
