Lakes Mapped To Make Vast African Oasis
Paris reports a German engineer proposes a plan to create two vast lakes in central Africa connected by a canal to the Mediterranean. The first lake would form in Belgian Congo via Congo River damming, the second by enlarging Lake Chad to feed the Logsne river, with a short canal linking them and a final canal to the Mediterranean. The scheme envisions transforming central Africa into a fertile region, using heat and water as the main principles, while lamenting water waste in rivers like the Congo.
