<p>The Trans Sahara Gas Pipeline (TSGP) is a main gas transmission pipeline from Calabar in Nigeria to Beni Saf in Algeria. The dimension is 48" with a design pressure of 100 barg, which gives an overall transport capacity of 20 bcm/year (60mcm/day). The overall length of the pipeline is ca 4400 km, of which 1037 km in Nigeria, 841 km in Niger, 2303 km in Algeria and 220km Subsea from Algeria to Spain.  </p>

<p>The pipeline route follows the route of the Trans-Nigerian pipeline from Calabar to Kano in Nigeria. It is expected that the pipeline will be connected to the Nigerian gas transmission system. In Niger, it is expected that there will be off-take points in the south for power production plants and in the north close to the mines for power production and potentially for direct use in the vehicles and machines used in the mining activities, where gas could replace oil. In Algeria, the pipeline follows the Trans-Saharan highway to Hassi R´Mel, where the pipeline will be connected to the northern part of the integrated gas transmission system. From Hassi R´Mel, the pipeline will follow a number of existing pipelines to Beni Saf. The middle part of the Algerian section will run in the same horizontal level as pipelines from In Salah and In Armenas. More than half of the pipeline section is hence to be constructed in well-known terrain and conditions in respectively Nigeria and Algeria. Only the middle section, from Kano in Nigeria to the south of Algeria, via Niger, is to be considered as new terrain for large diameter pipeline construction. Finally a 220km subsea pipeline would be constructed from Beni saf in Algeria to Spain in order to supply gas to the European market.</p>

<p>The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS) underlies the countries of Chad, Egypt, Libya and Sudan, the total population of which is over 136 million. It is the world's largest &lsquo;fossil' water aquifer system stretching over approximately 2.6 million square km in Northeast Africa. Fresh groundwater reserves in the aquifer system is estimated at 372,950 billion cubic metre (BCM), out of which only 3.9% is recoverable with present?day technology. The riparian countries sharing the aquifer system face similar problems of arid climate, scarce surface water resources, persistent droughts and fragile ecosystems. The aquifer is a critically important source of water in this arid desert region and will be increasingly in demand in the future. Hence, all four countries have given priority to linking the NSAS groundwater exploitation to national development strategies and plans. Growing pressures on the aquifer system pose threats to both the quantity and quality of the resource and could, if not appropriately managed, lead to transboundary/shared problems and tension.</p>

1750 km of dual freeway road designed of 2x3 lanes with extra emergency lane in each direction. The design was done according to the modern international of highway standards. The project design includes also all necessary services areas that are allocated on both sides of the Motorway. Such service area will provide all basic needs to the passengers and travelers including motels, patrol stations, shops &amp; cafeterias as well as other services such as maintenance utilities. The number and sizes of these service stations are extendable to meet all future demands.

<p>The Northern Sahara Aquifer System &#40;SASS&#41; is a basin of more than 1000,000 km shared by three countries (Algeria, Tunisia, Libya) with considerable but not renewable water potential. This water potential is overexploited in view of the estimates of the levies, which rose from 0.6 billion m3/year in 1970 to 2.8 billion m3/year in 2013, almost triple the average recharge (1 billion m3/year).</p><p>If the state of overexploitation persists, due to the increase in water needs that could double by 2030 due to the extension of irrigation, the consequences will be dramatic and may result, among other things, in a sharp deterioration in water and soil quality. As a result, alternative solutions must be sought through, among other things, the generalization of renewable energy (solar), the realization of renewable water points, drainage systems, water demineralization stations accompanied by efficient management of irrigation water.</p><p>The project serves a planned infrastructure asset of another sector, but there is less than 50% overlap in the geography serviced by the proposed project and the other sector planned asset.</p><p>Agricultural development through irrigation efficiency to triple irrigated areas by 2030; The development of solar energy, especially in arid areas; Job creation in the agricultural sector; Modernising irrigation through water-efficient practices; The use of unconventional water in irrigation through the demineralization of brackish water and the recovery of drainage water; The involvement of the private sectors and research in agricultural development; Incentives to invest in major agricultural projects; The development of cold storage capacity and packaging centres, particularly in arid areas; The attractiveness of the agricultural sector to young people. Innovation Drip System: - Use of Solar Energy; - applications of the "renewable energy-water-agriculture" nexus. - Rain systems outside the oasis, available in: - Private irrigated serriculture system and perimeter for the production of early or off-season market garden products with high added value. There, the problem is related to the degradation of the quality of the groundwater resource by salinization by contamination with marine water; The rain-fed olive system, threatened with drought with decline. In both cases, too, the application of a "renewable energy-water-agriculture" nexus is able to safeguard and redeploy them on the path to sustainability. The expected results of this reasoned intensification are as follows: - The conservation of water and soil resources and the preservation of their qualities; - Significant improvement in agronomic performance (saving 30% of irrigation water, recovery and reallocation of drainage water, at least doubling yields/ha relative to baseline, diversification of production and improvement in quality). This with a very positive integration of livestock into crop systems; - The increase (double or even triple) in the income of farmers to the benefit of the local economy; - The consolidation of the social structures and cultural values of these regions based on group solidarity, through new structures created and adopted by the indigenous peoples themselves. - Establishment of demineralization stations for brackish waters<br></p>
