Abstract
Years of war have left the Lebanese water sector in a very bad shape. This has caused excessive water waste in practically all aspects of water consumption. As Lebanon wastes water, its neighbors are desperately seeking to secure their water needs.

Such investments would be made for the purpose of creating a large enough water surplus in Lebanon.
