at which GMRA rendered a scientific paper about the project's
phases implementation, quantities of water conveyed, the cost
of unit and the project's economical and environmental impact
on the various regions of the Jamahiriya, also the paper
indicated that about (130,000 Hectares) of arable land are to
be reclaimed constituting about (20,000) farms to be irrigated
by GMRA which would eventually lead to the settlement of
(20,000) Libyan families; thus, another(100,000) farms shall
be included within GMRA's complementary irrigation plan in
different areas of the Jamahiriya (Al-Jeffara and Benghazi
plains, Sirt valleys…..etc) which would give a rise to the
production rate and to the reflexive immigration from city to
village, also encouraging farmers and their families to settle
in their farms giving a rise to the estate value.
Finally, the paper
indicated that the arrival of GMRA's water to the cities and
villages has lead to the improvement of quality of life across
the areas reached by GMRA's water.
