Emerging agricultural hydrology problems in post-conflict Libya
2017
This paper develops a conceptual framework for analyzing emerging agricultural hydrology problems in post-conflict
Libya. Libya is one of the most arid regions on the planet. Thus, as well as substantial political and social changes,
post-conflict Libyan administrators are confronted with important hydrological issues in Libya’s emerging water-landuse complex. This paper presents a substantial background to the water-land-use problem in Libya; reviews previous work in Libya and elsewhere on water-land-use issues and water-land-use conflicts in the dry and arid zones; outlines a conceptual framework for fruitful research interventions; and details the results of a survey conducted on Libyan farmers’ water usage, perceptions of emerging water-land-use conflicts and the appropriate value one should place on agricultural-use hydrological resources in Libya. Extensions are discussed.
