The Eighth Wonder Of The World






The Eighth Wonder Of The World





Summary

It’s hard to find water in Libya because it’s a desert country. In 1969 the industrialisation put a strain on water supplies when Moammer Al Qadhafi deposed King Idris. The economists decided to construct a network pipelines to transport water from the desert to the cities. The project was started in 1984 by engineers from foreign countries. In September 1993 phase 1 began: water from eastern well-fields reached Benghazi. In 1996 phase 2 : bringing water to Tripoli from western well-fields. Phase 3 : links the first two phases but was still not finished
in 2006. In future it’s unsure how long the water will last.

The main idea

The main idea of the article is that Libyan people faced the problem of limited supply of fresh water and created a plan to transport water from the desert to the main cities.

The opinion


In my opinion finding water nowadays is hard in the desert and too expensive. It is cheaper to analyze sea water by using oil to run the factories. In future we will see water wars between countries because of the limitation of fresh water in the earth. Countries will compete to control the source of fresh water in the world.
