Africa's $50bn Transaqua Project Eyes Congo River Water to Rescue Lake Chad
Lake Chad, a critical freshwater source in Central Africa, has shrunk dramatically over recent decades, severely affecting millions of people in the surrounding region. To address this crisis, African governments are backing large-scale initiatives to restore the lake's ecosystem. The centerpiece of these efforts is the Transaqua project, an ambitious $50 billion plan to divert water from the Congo River basin into Lake Chad. Beyond replenishing the lake's water levels, the project is also intended to stimulate economic development across the affected regions. The initiative represents one of the largest proposed water-diversion schemes on the African continent.
