| 英文摘要 | Libya is located in a dry and semi-arid region of Africa with no perennial rivers or real freshwater lakes and an average yearly rainfall of less than 100 mm. The limited access to surface water resources has resulted in heavy dependence on groundwater. Extensively use of conventional water resources like groundwater, poor awareness of how to optimally use and save water and seawater intrusion into the coastal water aquifers, all contributed to a severe water crisis in Libya. Libya's water crisis issues are further compounded by the distribution of the population relative to the available water resources. 75% of Libya's population is concentrated in only 1.5% of the total land area in the western coastal centers of Jiffarah plain and Misurata, and the eastern coastal area of Al Jabal Al Akhdar. The objective of this paper is to highlight the conventional and non-conventional water resources in Libya. In this context, the paper aims to present an overview of seawater desalination technology in Libya and why desalination should be accommodated as a strategic and ultimate solution for the water shortage. |
