Litani Authority Urges Wastewater Project Completion
The article focused on the Litani Authority's efforts to address the pollution of the Litani River through an urgent request to the Ministry of Development and Reconstruction to complete the sewage treatment plant projects in the Marj and Taminine Al-Tahtah areas, and to connect them to the sewage networks. Studies have shown that discharging untreated water causes environmental degradation and reduces water quality in the upper basin of the Litani River, which in turn affects water resources and public health. For years, the Authority has continued its legal and technical efforts to combat pollution, but delays in project implementation remain a major obstacle, as approximately 22 million cubic meters of wastewater flow annually without treatment—about 50% of the total untreated sewage in the region. The Authority emphasized that completing these two projects would reduce pollution and improve the environment, and warned that the delays pose an ongoing environmental and health risk. It stressed the urgent need to take measures to complete the work and deliver tangible results to limit the deterioration of the Litani River.
