The study aims to identify the problem of drinking water supply in various localities in Libya, emphasizing the role of geographical location and its influence on determining the volume of supply and demand, finding shortages in residential areas, identifying related problems, the demographic ratio of the area and the role of population growth. Historical method, regional method, descriptive method and analytical method were applied in the research. The study also used field observation tools and interviews with some officials and the target population, in addition to a questionnaire that was distributed after verifying its validity and reliability to a stratified random sample of 170 families with 7% of the study population. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program. And one of the most important findings of the study is that there is a lack of water in the study area due to the topography of the area in addition to the distance of water supply from residential areas. So that about 36% of the examined sample pointed to the presence of cracks in the water supply network, water shortage during the summer and population pressure, while 64.4% pointed to a longer period of power outages during the fall, in addition to the distance and the salinity of the groundwater.Certain cities and rural areas suffer from drinking water supply problems, and natural and human factors contribute to the worsening of this problem, especially rapid population density and poor management of water resources.
