Tripoli, 11 September 2013:

Speaking at today’s Prime Ministerial press conference, Water Resources Minister Hadi Hinshir said that water would . . .[restrict]be in Tripoli by either Thursday night or Friday.

Hinshir explained that the pumping of the Man-Made River water from the south of Libya had started last Saturday (7 September) with 200, 000 cubic metres of water, then 600,000 and last night, after the pipes were able to take the volume of water safely, another 400,000 cubic metres were pumped. The total pumped was 1 million cubic metres the Minister explained with water reaching Tarhuna and Misrata.

Hinshir also revealed that there was an emergency supply of about 100,000 cubic metres available at the Ain Zara reservoir. More importantly, Minister Hinshir confirmed what many Tripolitanians had been asking for  since the second water crisis, that there was a plan for a water reservoir at Sidi Sayeh to hold 24 million cubic metres which would guarantee water for Tripoli for 30 days.

The Minister also revealed that there was a plan for a desalinisation plant for 500,000 cubic metres so that, together with the local water wells, Tripoli could have three different sources of water.

Hinshir also revealed that plans for other cities to have  similar desalinisation plants were now under discussion by the government.
