A Profile of the Submarine Springs in Lebanon as a Potential Water Resource
This is an overview of the submarine springs occurring along the coast of Lebanon, and the associated geological, hydrogeological, and hydrological characteristics of their terrestrial catchment areas. Emphasis is placed on springs in the Chekka Bay in North Lebanon because of their voluminous discharge, and their importance as a potential source of water. Tapping and exploiting the larger springs along the entire coast would yield an estimated 650 Mm3/yr of fresh water and would certainly help to alleviate the acute water shortage anticipated in the foreseeable future. However, the associated ecological and socio-economic impacts must be considered alongside the beneficial aspects. Such projects are essential to meet the increasing water demands in Lebanon and the region.
