One thing is certain under Gaddafi, the citizens lived a better life with a higher standard of living 👏
Gaddafi was a brutal dictator who was openly hostile to the West. His people were not well off despite the propaganda and were living under vicious oppression. By comparison, the Saudis took the opposite road and they are the agricultural jewel of the desert countries. America was the largest contributor to that success, so don't blame us for Libya's failures. It's always a lot more complicated than it seems. The great satan is just an excuse.
If you were not tortured or you did not dissappear, live was surely better
@@mauricej8747 I don't think all these happened. Your Western government always wants to see an African, Arabians in regression. So they always create scandals that never happen so they can come into a certain good living countries like Libya and ruin all their good lives.
I don't know what you think you know about the way Africans and Arabians live their lives. Your countries always take their wickedness to the countries who disagree with them to their countries, they don't fight it in America or Europe, thats why you think Col. Gaddafi was a tyrant!
Now go search for "the Veteran who confronted Pre. Biden" and see what those fighters have seen. Let me tell you some.
Those British & American soldiers saw a Population of people who lives average, a lots of these people in dirt's, still living in peace, maybe wanted more but are ok with what they have.
Then BOOM! BOOM!! BOOM!!! Rains of shells dropping on them.
Damn!!!
@Jamie W How many did dissapear or were tortured in a prison in the USA? Evidence please.

Unfortunately, Libya tried to overcome the petrodollar by creating its own Gold Dinar for currency and convincing other African countries to use that currency when trading their resources. They also tried to circumvent the use of a central bank and the IMF as well as the World Bank. So, NATO intervened, destroying their country and bombing their great water project in the process. Curiously, Libya was not a member of NATO.
thank gawd we brought democacy to Libya
@@gaylandbarney2231 That and a federal reserve system to help with their slave sales.
True. NATO meaning the US!
That’s not true. I remember the wired warning Godaffy not to attack the civilian uprising with soldiers. He wouldn’t listen. Pretty much all African nations supported the invasion.
@@seanbryan1739 You are a very sick person.
Gaddafi a leader who loved his country.
Proud to be part of this project...as QC Inspector...
Gadaffi was a good man; much better than those who killed him!...
I worked on this project for 13 years as water quality specialist and travelled the entire phase 1and 2 systems and much of phase 3 too from the furthest exploration wells and aquifer monitoring wells at least 50km from the Sarir, Tazerbo and Jebel Hasouna wellfields to the coast and the handover points to the municipalities and agricultural project reservoirs. As I left it in 2004 it all worked very well with a lot of very happy Libyans.
However politics intervened and the people were pretty hacked off with the regime. Freedom and Democracy were two joke words. What the leader said, no matter how strange, went, any dissent was rewarded by being put in jail, people just disappeared. You'd be working with a colleague one day, the next he didn't turn up to work and finally you'd hear that the secret police had called at his home and simply driven him away. Sometimes they would reappear, most times not.
Also all the time there was a deep resentment by the eastern half of the country, Cyrene, where most of the oil lay because the oil money was unfairly distributed with Tripoli seen to be significantly better off the Benghazi.
When the Arab Spring revolt stated in 2011 much of the country and especially Cyrene rose up and Ghadaffi attempted to put down the rebellion with instructions to eliminate the eastern population, potentially ca 2million people so NATO intervened. As a result the GMMR was blown up near Bani Walid to prevent water flowing to Sirt, Ghadaffi's home city. At the same time Ghadaffi's forces occupied the pipe plant at Marsa Brega. NATO bombed the pipe plant essentially destroying the place and stopping the march towards Benghazi but the division within Libya remains. The east and a good part of the south is controlled by a Cyrenian war lord, Gen Haftar and his henchmen who are not recognised as a legitimate government by the international community.
Tripoli and the western Libya are administered by the internationally recognised democratic government.
Until all this is sorted out the GMMR cannot be reinstated. I understand that the water to Benghazi from Sarir and possibly Tazerbo wellfields still flows. I'm not sure about the phase 2 pipeline from Jebel Hasouna to Tripoli. The water to the municipalities was always only to be 20% of the total potential system capacity.
Libyans should have left gadaffi alone....
@@mpendakiswahili3053 Jambo sana bwana. You mean NATO should should have left Gaddafi alone to sort out the shit being stirred in his country under the banner of Democracy, which the Western Democracies stir everywhere around the earth and right now you can see what is happening in Ukraine,
@@mgabrielle2343 what works for Westerners doesn't work for the rest of the world....and libyans did a horrible thing siding with the westerners
Hello mr wood
It began when the Western countries Leaders and America intervene Libya’s Muammar Ghadafi Leadership by making every sorts of negative propaganda just because Muammar Ghadafi dislike any form of foreign colonisations

"We came, we saw, He died" --- Hiliary Clinton.. speaking about Muammar Gaddafi
It's happening all over the world. People not getting anything done because of clashing ideologies. Putting a halt to good plans.
If they connect it to the ocean as well, they can also use it to transport seawater
inland to allow it to evaporatem which will add humidity and with that cloud formation.
They'll need some reservoirs for the drinking water during these transports though.
Alternately, they can add a layer into the pipe, that will allow two way transport through
the same pipe, and thus have both fresh water transport, but also seawater inland
for evaporation.
The inland salt water basin should be checked for porousity. It would be bad
for the seawater to mix in with drinking water.
Alternately, using recycled plastic, any large enough hole can be covered with
such recycled plastic to make it into a big tub. Then water can evaporate without
mixing with any ground water.
Even if this does not lead to factual clouds, the least it will do is add air humidity,
which is already a big step forward in terraforming the local desert.
Even morning dew can do wonders for any vegetation that otherwise goes dry.
At the edges of the basin you can also plant things like palms that can tolerate salt water.
Pumping out water endlessly. I hold my breath for the ground subsidence and earthquakes in the future.
It was Gadafi's great project that we did not want to succeed. This is very unfortunate as it would have helped millions of people. Sometimes we do things that does not make sense, this is one of them.
It's a great project that should be completed. Libya was doing better under Gadafi.
@@martentrudeau6948 You needed to read his Green Book and understand his Pan Arabian Socialist view point stated many times in his book. That the money would disappear. It was a deck of cards economy and he knew. A pipe dream where you imagined it was a better life with even his mother living an eternal life in a tent and him hurrying away all the money he could ship out before the colapes. Try and find all the money today and likely you will find a thousand dead ends as the money was disapperring as he was declaring war. A decaration to murder and start another revolutionary war after he had abdicated from goverment. Libya was not doing better. Remember the forced confiscations of bussinesses and properties at gun point which resulted in tousands fleeing. Of course in a Socialist dictatorship some will think their new stolen wealth represents a better time. But that is a better time for the administration with arms and not so good for the working classes. So it wasn't Libya doing better but the Pan Arabian Socialists telling you it was better as they received all the money but other Libyans may tell you it was Hell On Earth and worse still was Gaddafi telling the world in his Green book that all the money would disappear/ A Pipe Dream. That was all it was. Like a Ponzi Scheme where the first people in the system benefit vastly whilst those to come later would fall foul.
Worked on the project many years ago on a gas compressor station which supplied gas for the main power generators. From the desert the water appeared to pumped to large evaporation ponds on the coast. Have t assume it would have been far cheaper to build desalination. The only winners being the numerous German contractors who benefited during the embargo 😮
Not in 1984
You liar, traitor and agent
A very interesting compilation of water project info I had never known previously. And well presented. Thank you for that!
(Your words were easier to understand during the portions that did not have background music. I never remember a college professor using background music to accompany a lecture.)
You don't say "what" year the Libya Revolution took place on Feb 17, which was "2011!"
Very important fact, should have been included please?
Never heard about this before, interesting history and a project with lots of potential hopefully will be completed in the near future!
Yes main stream media never publish this because they dislike and jaelous of the success made by Colonal Muammar Ghadafi who was also anti western colonization mentally, monetarilly or politically.
thanks for stuffing that up USA
Most of equipment I saw on the project was US sold into Libya through third party European contractors during the embargo 😮 I believe the project was abandoned.
what will happen when the underground water runs out?
There will be heart-rending calls for Western aid from international charities. and we'll all be guilt-tripped into sustaining a large starving population.
that will be about 1000 years from now so worry about it then . seriously that's how long these reservoirs would last. so at least 500 yrs for 50% of the water.
Why did NATO go into Libya? What business gas Nato in Africa?
NATO means north Atlantic treaty.orginisation not north African treaty organisation.
A genocide from Gaddafi was pending NATO stopped it we should just have let them kill one another after all they are Africans.
to save 2 million people who were targetted for extermination.
Libya before the catastrophic intervention was constantly moving on the right track trying to get improved by means of getting red of the only one income resource of oil purchasing to have more sustainable income resources presented in agricultural sector along side with other industries, but the wrong decisions made by the big countrie's authorities ruined the whole thing.
Bet you oil wells were not destroyed
The video is about five times longer than it needed to be. Best of luck!
So why was Gaddafi ousted when he, as a leader, was already doing so much for his people?
He didn’t like Hollywood movies. So, people got angry at him.
He was a brutal dictator.
Jealousy by the Western Leaders and America when Ghadafi disliked their colonisation policies in monetary etc, inclusive the katest is Israel occupation on Palestine
Brain washed by the west
Always look to see who benefit from these mayhems, western countries in the damn pretense of fake democracy with USA as the leader
Libya should have copied Turkey in dealing with the USA. The late Gaddafi antagonist attitude led to his demise, otherwise today the people of Libya would be living in another Dubai or Qatar with an added luxury of clean drinking water.
Libya is supposed to be already much better than it was several years ago. I remember watching some traveler youtuber channel visiting several places in the country and being told this by dozens of different people. Country got much better suddenly about 2-3 years ago, in fact they're mad noone's talking about it and most westerners still think the country is at war (it might technically somewhat be, but life's mostly normal, except by the lack of tourism).
You need a saliva test. Libya is a mess after Gaddafi. The western powers helped destroy Libyan ambitions.
Yeah! Mostly normal. It was normal 15yrs ago!
"it might technically somewhat be" disintegrated and paralysed by war. Which perfectly fits the needs of the former colonizers of Africa. They are terrified of the prospect of peace and progress, being accomplished by their former victims.
@@chavdarnaidenov2661 Problem was it was Ghaddfi who was the victimizer. Did you for get that? His so called Green utopian socialist dictatorship remember was a Pan Arabian socialist Dictaorship with him self as his own self appointed king of Africa. Weirdly odd to think a person should imagine him self King when his very policy was anti Africans. But weirder still was that as a Socialist Pan Arabian he was hated by all the surounding Arabian countries. You can check out the history of the votes for or against gadaffi by all the countries which bordered Libya. Not one country supported him of his socialist Arab only country. Libyans also fled and the Libyan goverment voted against him and called upon The Security Council for help.
Whenever you speak of Libya I get emotional hopefully they will overcome whatever came on their way. And to traitors shame on you 😢
Then America brought "Freedom and Democracy ".
America never brought freedom and democracy intead they are the colonizer and destroyer to Libya
kadafi had ordered that the east of libya be depopulated . so he told his generals to kill 2 million people who were rebelling. is that ok??
@@ronblack7870 Where do we find that order? In a MSM office?
they pump up the water??
was this normal drink water or sea water???
Probably not salty like sea water, will have filtration systems before it entered the cities removing metals etc 🤔
It was a beautiful flourishing country under Muammar Gaddafi and now Gaddafi is gone, it's not.
I suspect that the oil will prove to be more 'fluid' than water.
Who was helping the his people to get Out of poverty?
Errata Correcting The Text Sended Before: "I' Think That....(About The Destruction of The Project The Man Made River um Lybia).
The oil revenue keep Libyans happy, it also make the US happier 9:05 with excess cash invest in US Treasuries and bonds. The sell down of US treasuries to finance the water pipeline worries US too much, hence plans to stop water project initiated. The water pipeline will prosper Libya more, a war must start to stop this.
Całkowita racja .
You said Gadaffi was defeated February 17. What year?
Google is your friend.
2011
Gadafi future plantation on desert for libyan people food security food. wheat, potato etc. Libyan miss Gadafi greatman. Now libyan import food no more free home free electric..China copy future
China green desert. Plantation food security. China can continue Gadafi idea food security no import
Gaddafi was a great man.
I had to subscribe to support your very first video. Keep us informed, and keep up the good work.
This will add to the sea level and leave a giant void.
West use Libyan people, and now what they get.
However, Gaddafi rules, but it's in favor of the country.
Sounds like this area should be ok with water now.
as i understand usa bombed it and it is in great need of repairs, who knows if and when it would be possible
Excellent! 14Jan2023Finland
There's a lot of insinuation and suggestion,is the video meant to speak about the inestimable worth of this project only?
Look up " Primary Water".
Do learn about it.
Just imagine if US didn't interfere.
Hundreds of civilians would have died. It was a civil war
Imagine
Yes Libya would have been more prosperous and developed if America don’t intervened
yes 2 million would have been killed because they were rebelling against kadafi.
@@ronblack7870 who told you that?
Are you Libyan?
Do you live in Libya?
Are you from the city that first rebelled against him?
We have sufficient resources and water for all the humans and other species but our misnanagements and compartmental owenerships makes most of the people deprived. So basic water,food grains needs to be freed from nations ownership and managed for everyones needs.
Hilary Clinton, secretary of state ... "We Came, We Saw, He Died" add cackle.
I don't know how you can tell this story without mentioning the poor decision making of Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama.
Maybe because the intelligent voters are concentrating on current events like tRUMPS MAGA PARTY which is trying to destroy america and our CONSTITUTION ALONG WITH TRYING TO TAKE AWAY OUR EARNED SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS PLUS MORE AND MORE THINGS WE THE POOR AND MIDLE CLASS RELY ON!!L maybe thats just one little thing!!! TRY TO "think" THAT THROUGH!!
CORRECT, the Peace Nobel Prize: Barack Obama,, Ordered the Assesination the Great Lider Kadafi,, and Hilary Clinton ,, Supervised That Crime. Unveiled but True.
Lybians you will regret forever removing Gaddafi forceful was wrong
So he brought water to his people in the desert and we struggle with the basics. I think we got arrogant.
When the entire supply of underground water is depleted won't the empty underground pocket increase the chance of the entire area falling into a sinkhole because the water was holding up the land.
What a weird idea
Its wiser to do a little bit of geography before you comment
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@simbarashechatira3518 that was a good effort by you and i see some feeble mind gave you thumbs up. The correct word is Stratigraphy not Geography, Your welcome.
I'll try to answer your question without resorting to common UA-cam commenting sarcasm.
Yes, removing the water can lead to subsidence (the ground level getting lower.
A misconception presented in the video is the image of a big cavern filled with water. Aquifers are generally layers of rock that is porous enough to hold significant amounts of water. Think of a pile of cloth that you could pour water on--it would absorb a significant amount of water, but there are no obvious or large holes.
So, you are correct in thinking that the land will lower, although there are unlikely to be sink holes.
Does this make sense?
We lost an African messiah
Good job Libya ,you ask for it an receive it ,never trust the west .now you will never be old Libya again just like iraq..even in 50 year
And they decided to kill Brother Leader. Long Live Gaddafi!!!!!!
Gaddafi is dead get a better hero
Libyan free house, freedom, free school.,desert farming. democracy lost everything. Lost your dream
Well, I had hoped that as you guys are talking about Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, you guys would have said that "the Libyans People have regretted what they did to the Great Colonel and his Family".
Thats a SHAME from the Libyan People!!
I'm from Nigeria and if we could GET a Col. Muammar Gaddafi, we would live under his & his family's Rules FOREVER!!!
NATOcame to save and Bombed the water pipes 😢💣
Yeah, I feel like whenever a country's infrastructure is destroyed by people 'saving them,' those who destroyed it should have to rebuild what they destroyed.

It is said it was a deliberate act .

The groundwater will run out at some predictable point. Solar powered sea water desalination is a permanent solution.
That predictable point is hundreds of years away.
It will run for 4800yrs
It's more subtle. One meter loss can compromize 1000 sq. km of Siwas, or Oasis. Pristine water value will be higher than gold in 100 years.
And then came the USA.
Now it is all in a mess.
Triste por libya
dearing and megalomania project because the water suplie does not have external refuel so it will dry up anyway if used unless they use clever technical solutions to return the water back to its source and use the water drip technical solution as done in Israel and to use the new Australien plow technic invented by a Australian farmer inventer with other words invent and benefit world wide and stop using old methods wich are not sufficient anymore these days
Libyan people lost their good time along qaddsfi.

Dan mungkin nyawanya disambut dg kemuliaan oleh Nabi Nya..

The river has killed Kadafi
Let's assume the ideal and imaginary case which is: the whole project was accomplished and running 100% right now with only $25 billion as they estimated at the beginning to get the 6.5 million cubic meters a day!!
That's roughly 2.5 billion cubic meters per year for about 7 million people living right now in Libya in 2023. As Mr. John Woodcock who worked on the project said: "about 20% of this water would be used for the municipalities." That's 500 million cubic meters of water out of the 2.5 billion per year given and taken...
I'm pretty sure the desalination plants would have cost a lot less to build and produce 500 million cubic meters of water per year necessarily for the Libyans, especially since they are only two major cities: Tripoli and Benghazi, and most of the other cities are small and located on the Libyan coast which can receive fresh water through the pipelines from the two big cities or build small desalination plants for most of them...
As for the 2 billion cubic meters per year. It would be a complete waste of money to spend most of it on agriculture just to show off and it would be cheaper to import than produce it and subsidize it with oil money.
Let alone the destruction made to the underground water ecosystem in South Libya that has been there for tens of thousands of years!! It will be finished and ruined in less than 100 years just because a stupid, evil, bloodsucker and nuts-case dictator wanted to waste the oil money and show off to the rest of the world…The world is a much better place without his ass in it. Good riddance!! Best luck and wishes to the Libyan people!!
