Synopsis (short abstract) This report presents a thorough evaluation of two key initiatives, OSRO/LIB/100/AFB and OSRO/LIB/002/ITA, which utilize advanced remote sensing technologies alongside field data collection to enhance water management systems. The primary aim is to assess the infrastructure related to water management, focusing specifically on irrigation systems, crop production, and water productivity across Libya, with particular attention to the regions of Fezzan (Southern), Western, and Eastern Libya. The overarching goal of these projects is to improve sustainable water resource management practices. By leveraging the insights gained from these initiatives, there is potential to apply the knowledge and techniques developed here on a national scale. The expected outcomes include the identification of areas requiring rehabilitation and development, as well as the creation of deep insights into innovative practices and cutting-edge technologies that can significantly enhance water productivity at the micro-farm level.

    Rapid flood impact assessment on water management infrastructure and agriculture in Eastern Libya in 2023 2025

    In October 2023, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) carried out rapid geospatial flood impact assessment in Eastern Libya, employing state-of-the-art technology and satellite data. This assessment focused on six critical parameters: 1) annual water extent in dams and reservoirs, 2) flood extent mapping using Sentinel-1 data at 10-metre resolution, 3) a detailed land cover map derived from Sentinel-2 data for the year 2023 using national land cover reference system, 4) an assessment of population exposure to flood risks, 5) the extent of irrigated cropland, and 6) the exposure of farmers to flooded irrigated cropland. The administrative boundary layer from Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) is used. The findings point towards the necessity of region-specific flood mitigation strategies that address both human and agricultural vulnerabilities, with a view to preserving food security and community livelihoods post-disaster.

    In Libya, there is a need to strengthen national capacities to monitor water consumption and productivity through remote sensing and to adopt effective options for increasing water productivity in Fezzan region, as a pilot to be scaled up throughout the country. The impact of this project is that food security in the region is improved through effective use of agricultural water.
