water treatment in Libya, Africa

Naston designed and supplied potable water treatment and distribution systems, sewage collection systems and associated equipment for various development areas under the current policy of decentralisation for the libyan government.
Libya is located in Northern Africa, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, between Egypt and Tunisia. Problems in Libya include desertification; very limited natural fresh water resources; the Great Manmade River Project, the largest water development scheme in the world, is being built to bring water from large aquifers under the Sahara to coastal cities The socialist-oriented economy depends primarily upon revenues from the oil sector, which contributes practically all export earnings and about one-quarter of GDP. These oil revenues and a small population give Libya one of the highest per capita GDPs in Africa, but little of this income flows down to the lower orders of society.
