National Water Sector Strategy 2010 - 2020.

To ensure water supply, irrigation and sanitation services over all the Lebanese territory on continuous basis and at optimal services levels, with a commitment to environmental, economic and social sustainability, the Government of Lebanon adopted this National Water Sector Strategy (NWSS) to be implemented in a ten-year period within 2020. Given that, as for the Vision, water is considered a right for every citizen and a resource for the whole country, the strategy aims at achieving its goal by a series of strategic objectives on both infrastructure and management level. Regarding the infrastructural level, interventions concern: (i) production; (ii) transmission and distribution for both water supply and irrigation, and (iii) wastewater. While, at managerial level, the Strategy deals with different fields, namely: (i) Institutional and Organizational; (ii) Financial and Commercial; (iii) Legal and Regulatory; (iv) Environmental Concerns; and (v) Awareness and Conservation.
