BACKGROUND
In Libya, Dams play a crucial role in water management, including collecting surface water and providing protection against flood risks. The country has built 18 dams distributed all over the country, with a total storage capacity exceeding 350Mm3. These large infrastructures serve agricultural projects and bottled water factories, and they aim to provide drinking water to the major cities in Libya.
In September 2023, Storm Daniel unleased heavy rains on Libya’s northeastern coast causing the collapse of two dams upstream of the city port of Derna, namely Derna and Abu Mansour dams. The flood destroyed partially Derna city as well as its whole infrastructure.
In the aftermath of the flooding in Derna region, the French Republic granted funds to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, as part of the urgent assistance to UNESCO’s International Hydrological Programme in Libya, to provide technical support on the monitoring and maintenance of the Libyan Dams.
In this context, UNESCO Regional Office for the Maghreb will be launching a training on dam inspection, monitoring and maintenance, and management will be organised.
