Africa is pouring in $50 billion to redirect water from Congo River Basin to Lake Chad which has shrunk by 90% since 1960

Lake Chad's dramatic shrinkage has brought about severe impacts on the lives of millions. To counteract this crisis, governments are investing in initiatives aimed at rehabilitating the lake's ecosystem. A noteworthy solution includes the ambitious Transaqua project, which seeks to channel water from the Congo River back into Lake Chad. This vital endeavor aims not only to replenish the lake but also to foster economic growth in the surrounding regions.
