Water Supply System - The Great Man Made River (GMMR)
The Kufra-Tazerbo-Ajdabiya Water Supply System
The
Kufra-Tazerbo conveyance will involve the development of a new
major wellfield at Kufra, with a yield of 1.68 Million Cubic Meter
per Day MCMD and will incress the existing capacity of the SSTB
System to 3.68 MCMD.The system consists of the
following:
- 300 wells in Kufra well field.
- 380 km (238) miles conveyance pipeline mainly 4 m (13) ft.
diameter pipes.
- 7 No. inline booster pumping stations.
- 250 miles haul road.
- Permanent communication & control system.
- Cathodic protection system.
- Operation, support and Maintenance facilities.
Al Jaghboub Tobruk Water
Supply
Late
in 1998 a plan was put forward to explore a region southeast and
west of the Jaghboub area, intended to convey 137,000 MCMD of water
from Jaghboub area to the coastal regions which extended from west
Al Bamba golf to east Emsaad, supplying the Batnan population with
water, and also some of east Al Goba regions.
Primary
Studies indicated the presence of a huge storage of ground water in
Jaghboub area which encouraged initiating a plan to drill 15
exploratory wells in south Al Jaghboub.
Based on
excavation results the hydraulic information for the ground
reservoir in this area will be determined and conclude the range of
its exploitation on a wide scale to cover the domestic needs in
Batnan region.
Ghedames-Al
Zawia-Zwara System
The aim of this system is to convey 90 MCMY from Ghedames
basin
to the costal regions of western Jefara area to meet the domestic
water requirements of the growing population in the area.
The wellfield consists of 144 wells with additional 15 wells
standby. They are drilled between 900 to 1100 meters depth.
To transfer the water along the link from Ghedames basin requires
to install pump stations, the proposal is to create four pump
stations distributed on the pipe conveying system. The system
consist of the following:
- 144 wells.
- 208 km (130) miles wellfield collector pipe line.
- 622 km (389) miles main conveyance and distribution
line.
- 4 No’s pump stations.
- 4 No’s storage tanks.
- 3 No’s pressure breaking tanks.
- 1 No elevated tank.
- 25 No’s turnouts.
- Communication and Control System.
- 3 Operation and Maintenance Centers.
- Electrical distribution system for the wellfield.
