No results found.In Lebanon, like in many places in the world, adequate and reliable management and collection of waste have become increasingly complex and problematic. This issue anticipates cascading and spill-over effect on livelihood, environment, and agriculture. The main-occurring scenario is mostly correlated to the involuntarily waste disposal into irrigation canal and their consequent accumulation through villages and ultimately the sea. The enhancement of the environmental performance of the irrigation systems in Lebanon, therefore, urgently requires the rehabilitation of the irrigation canals and the proper removal of solid waste that they contain. In this context, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the North Lebanon Water Establishment (NLWE), which represents the Ministry of Water and Energy, is implementing a project titled “Rehabilitation and waste management of El-Bared canal irrigation system to reduce source-to-sea pollution and improve livelihoods in the Akkar Region of Lebanon”, financed by the Government of Norway. The objective of the project is to determine a direct impact in terms of minimizing the discharge of waste from El-Bared system in Lebanon to the Mediterranean Sea, so to improve the livelihoods of the people depending on the system through rehabilitation of irrigation canal system, solid waste disposal, and improved agricultural output and job creation. -

The enhancement of the environmental performance of the irrigation systems in Lebanon, therefore, urgently requires the rehabilitation of the irrigation canals and the proper removal of solid waste that they contain. In addition, it is fundamental to strengthen the capacity of the authorities in charge and advocate the adverse effect of this problem amongst involved direct communities while providing them with means alleviation. In this context, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the North Lebanon Water Establishment (NLWE), which represents the Ministry of Water and Energy, is implementing a project ‘rehabilitation and waste management of El-Bared canal irrigation system to reduce source-to-sea pollution and improve livelihoods in the Akkar Region of Lebanon’, financed by the Government of Norway. -
