BAMAS - 3.1 Groundwater Quality in the Litani Basin, Lebanon
Very scarce information is available on groundwater quality in the upper Litani and Lake. Nevertheless, the information that could be gathered from some analyzed samples, shows groundwater contamination and certain high levels of organic matter, iron, zinc, and mercur. No primary or secondary data or any other information could be gathered on bacteriological contamination, as well as nitrate and phosphate concentrations in the basin's groundwater. However, high concentrations of all these contaminants are expected to be present in the groundwater due to the prevailing Qaraoun Basin. (4.1 Groundwater Quality in the Basin - p. 21)
