Geography The Mediterranean coast and the Sahara Desert are the country's most prominent natural features. There are several highlands but no true mountain ranges except in the largely empty southern desert near the Chadian border, where the Tibesti Massif rises to over 2,200 meters. A relatively narrow coastal strip and highland steppes immediately south of it are the most productive agricultural regions. Still farther south a pastoral zone of sparse grassland gives way to the vast Sahara Desert, a barren wasteland of rocky plateaus and sand. It supports minimal human habitation, and agriculture is possible only in a few scattered oases. Between the productive lowland agricultural zones lies the Gulf of Sidra, where along the coast a stretch of 500 kilometers of wasteland desert extends northward to the sea. This barren zone, known as the Sirtica, has great historical significance. To its west, the area known as Tripolitania has characteristics and a history similar to those of nearby Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco. It is considered with these states to constitute a supranational region called the Maghrib. To the east, the area known historically as Cyrenaica has been closely associated with the Arab states of the Middle East. In this sense, the Sirtica marks the dividing point between the Maghrib and the Mashriq. Along the shore of Tripolitania for more than 300 kilometers, coastal oases alternate with sandy areas and lagoons. Inland from these lies the Jifarah Plain, a triangular area of some 15,000 square kilometers. About 120 kilometers inland the plain terminates in an escarpment that rises to form the Jabal (mountain) Nafusah, a plateau with elevations of up to 1,000 meters.

World Factbook 2000 [C] by the CIA Presented by Auth o rama Public Domain Books Search through book: LIBYA Libya: Introduction Background: Since he took power in a 1969 military coup, Col. Muammar Abu Minyar al-QADHAFI has espoused his own political system - a combination of socialism and Islam - which he calls the Third International Theory. Viewing himself as a revolutionary leader, he used oil funds during the 1970s and 1980s to promote his ideology outside Libya, even supporting subversives and terrorists abroad to hasten the end of Marxism and capitalism. Libyan military adventures failed, e.g., the prolonged foray of Libyan troops into the Aozou Strip in northern Chad was finally repulsed in 1987. Libyan support for terrorism decreased after UN sanctions were imposed in 1992. Those sanctions were suspended in April 1999.

LIBYA GEOGRAPHY, POPULATION AND WATER RESOURCES The Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, situated on the northwest Mediterranean coast of Africa, has a total area of about 1.76 million km . The cultivable area is estimated at 2 170 000 ha, which is 1.2% of the total area. TABLE 1 Basic statistics and population Area of the country Cultivable land Cultivated land ha ha ha Total population Population density Rural population inhab. inhab./km Water supply coverage Urban population Rural population The total population is about 5.2 million inhabitants (1994). The population density is 3 inhabitants/km and the rural population was estimated to be only 18% in 1990. Agriculture contributes less than 5% to GDP, although it provides employment for approximately 13% of the active population. Climate and water resources The average annual rainfall is 26 mm. It is more than 100 mm/year over only 7% of the land surface. The highest rainfall occurs in the northern Tripoli region (Jabal Nafusah and Jifarah Plain) and in the northern Binghazi region (Jabal al Akhdar): these two areas being the only ones where the average yearly rainfall exceeds the minimum value (250-300 mm) which is considered necessary to sustain rainfed agriculture. Rainfall occurs during the winter months and shows an extreme variability from year to year and from place to place. The total mean annual runoff water calculated or measured at the entrance of the wadis in the plains is estimated at 200 million m /year, but part of it either evaporates or contributes to recharge of aquifers. Therefore the surface water resources are roughly estimated at 100 million m
