The Syrian crisis has had serious consequences for Lebanon. More than 1.5 million refugees have found refuge in the country. Meanwhile, the Bekaa Valley, to the east of Lebanon, is experiencing a shortage of drinking water and sanitary facilities. Local agriculture is also suffering from drought conditions. In these challenging circumstances, however, it is of crucial importance that the region be able to achieve good harvests, provide employment and grow its economy. World Waternet, Acacia Water and Wageningen University & Research are working together to support Lebanon using Dutch water and agricultural expertise. The two-year programme was launched in February 2017, with the aim of improving the provision of drinking water, purifying waste water, increasing water availability and boosting farmers’ production by encouraging better, more economical water use.
