Litani River Authority (LRA) | National Council for Scientific Research (NCSR) | Development Studies Association (DSA)
The Ain As Saiffiyeh spring, from which the RIM bottled water factory draws water, is also a major source for the Litani watershed. Meters below the RIM plant, agricultural, domestic and industrial effluents begin to foul the water. Within a few short kilometres, spring water is dangerously polluted - unfit even for a water treatment facility. The Litani River Project worked to raise awareness and change attitudes and behaviour in the watershed. The project engendered both strong social and scientific research components, including capacity building and dissemination of research. Appendix B summarizes scientific achievements.
