File:Libya Irrigation project pipes.jpg
The project, which consists of many phases, was named the world's largest irrigation project in the Guiness World Records 2008 and is the largest water construction scheme ever undertaken. 1953 efforts to find oil led to the discovery of large quantities of fresh water in Libya, a desert country surviving on poor quality water from underground acquifiers and desalination plants. Today, the large network of 4m diameter pipes, buried underground extends 4000km into the Sahara desert. It transports 6,500,00m cubed of fresh water every day, providing an almost unlimited supply to the Libyan population, for municipal, industrial and agricultural use.
