    Reducing Water Pollution from Agrochemicals in Litani River and Qaraoun Lake, Governorate of Bekaa - UTF/LEB/028/LEB 2023

    Water pollution in the LitaniRiver and Lake Qaraoun, in the Governorate of Bekaa, poses a serious problem for human health and the environment. The source of pollution, originating from the agricultural sector, is mainly due to the excessive and indiscriminate use of fertilizers and pesticides by farmers. In particular, the runoff from agriculture contributes to poor water quality, as farmers do not employ good agricultural practices (GAP) for preserving natural resources in soil or irrigation water management, pest and crop management, and often overuse agrochemical applications. Against this background, the main objective of the project was to reduce underground, LitaniRiver and Lake Qaraounwater pollution through the promotion and application of GAP, including integrated pest management (IPM), by farmers in the Upper LitaniRiver Basin and Lake Qaraoun.

    In recent decades, livestock production has increased rapidly, particularly in the developing world. Most of the increased production comes from industrial farms clustered around major urban centres. Such large concentrations of animals and animal wastes close to dense human population often cause considerable pollution problems. The rapid growth of livestock production highlights the urgent need for effective policies to regulate intensive livestock operations and su pport environmentally and economically sustainable approaches to handling waste.
