- 5. Remediation measures for sources of pollution in the Litani basin, Lebanon

Remediation measures are necessary to protect the upper Litani basin and Lake Qaraoun from deteriorating quality due to several causes.

As such, the first measures should target the sources of pollution. This chapter examines the remediation options for various sources of pollution in the Litani basin. (6. Remediation options - p. 40)
