West destroyed Gaddafi and Mubarak for the "eighth wonder of the world"
It’s a monstrous lie to pour blood under the guise of supporting democracy. Behind any modern war are absolutely selfish interests of people who believe that they rule this world ...
One of the reasons for the war in Libya, which culminated in the death of former leader of the country Muammar Gaddafi, experts see in an attempt to redistribute Libyan resources. And this is not about oil, but about water. It turns out that the water reserves in Libya - at 131 trillion dollars.
A little-known project called the Great Manmade River, which started back in the 1980s on the initiative of Gaddafi, is to provide more than 90% of the territory of Libya with drinking water. The colonel himself called it the “Eighth Wonder of the World” (according to some estimates, this is the largest of the existing engineering projects today).
It was planned to get water from four huge fresh water reservoirs located under the oases of Hamad, Kufra, Morzuk and Sirte. The total amount of fresh water in these sources is 35 thousand cubic kilometers. This amount, according to estimates, would be enough for 5000 years. If this water is “poured” into Ukraine, then it will cover the country with a 50-meter layer.
According to the project of the Great River, 4,605 kilometers of pipelines should transmit water extracted from 1,300 wells located at an average depth of 280 meters, and direct it 400 kilometers to the cities of the Libyan Mediterranean coast.
Now GMR pipes (South Korea built a special pipe plant for Libya) supply about 6.5 million cubic meters of water per day (2.37 cubic meters per year) for agriculture and domestic consumption. In other words, 378 thousand liters of pure fresh drinking water per person.
At the prices of desalinated (desalinated) water, these stocks cost $ 131 trillion. In the Maghreb region, desalinated seawater is sold for 3.75 per ton.
It is worth noting that, according to World Bank estimates, by the middle of the 21st century, 40% of the world's population will experience water shortages, and 20% will seriously suffer from it. Back in 2005, according to the Masons Water Yearbook, 545 million people (9% of the world's population) received water from private providers at market prices.
Today, a cubic meter of clean water in Europe costs $ 2, in Turkey and the Middle East - $ 4, using modern technologies for desalination of sea water.
By the way, it is believed that the overthrown Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was also an ardent supporter of the Libyan Great River.
