Environmental crisis unfolds
The General Director of the National Authority for the Litani River, Sami Alouieh, revealed the existence of an environmental time bomb resulting from the state's neglect of the environmental impact and industrial investments near the Litani River. He stated that wastewater has been diverted into the river and that influential figures and corrupt individuals are encroaching upon the river's property. He emphasized that delays in implementing wastewater treatment plants and sewer networks along the river's course threaten the environment, especially since funds have been wasted on projects that were not carried out seriously. He called for adopting decentralization in managing the water sector, involving civil society, municipalities, and the private sector, along with holding a national conference to promote governance, partnership, and accountability.
