INTRODUCTION
The need and importance of the freshwater are increasing day by day as the level of freshwater
are decreasing regularly due to the excessive use and wastage. There are also some other other
reason are present which decreases the level of freshwater such as increasing population of the
world which is one of the most biggest reason. Almost the major part of the earth are covered by
the water but this water are not sufficient for the usage because it is not freshwater and the level
of freshwater are very few. The importance of the freshwater are very high as all the activities of
the human life are very conduct due to the usage of the fresh water. There are many countries are
present in the world where the level of freshwater are at its low and Libya is one of them. The
life style of the country are disturbed due to lack of freshwater. There are many consequences are
present which is faced by the country such as civil war of 2011 and increasing level of
population of the country. All these factors has negative impacts on the level of freshwater. To
deal with the lack of freshwater, the government of the country has developed systematic plan to
develop effective water supply from the man made river. The name of the project is “ The great
man made river”. Under this project the government of Libya has developed 25 year plan where
the government has developed pipeline between Nubian sandstone to al the populated cities of
the country. Freshwater are supplied from these pipelines. The main aim of this project is to
improve the lifestyle of peoples and solve the problem of freshwater from the country.

very badly. The work of the pipeline are very huge and the development of the pipeline
are conducted in two plants. One of the production plant named Brega plant are hit by
NATO air strikes which stops the production of the pipelines and makes very difficult
for the management to continue the project.
 The country of the Libya also faced blunder consequences from the second civil war in
