Lebanon is a country rich in waters, but wasting affects water in it as it happens in various state facilities. Despite the abundance of rivers in it, and the rocks of its chemical mountain, which are tanks suitable for water, the need to create dams began to emerge as an urgent need to treat the scarcity of water during the summer, especially, and to deliver lip water to Beirut, the capital. Recently, the media was burst and the issue of the dam to be established in the Marj Bassri district is still in the Al -Shouf district, after this dam took its way towards implementation. On this dam and what is expected of the region, we met the mayor of Amamroat, Major Walid Abu Shaqra, in an attempt to answer all the questions about it.
Why are the developers of the most villages concerned with a secret dam? Do you really think that there is an urgent need to create it?
A large village perfumes, in terms of its population, and in terms of its real estate area, which Marj Bassi is located, including. The developers have a percentage of ۳۱% of the area of Marj Basri, and what remains is divided into the municipalities of the neighboring regions, including the municipality of the Chouf farm, which has 23 … Its area is a real estate belonging to the organizations. As for the need to build this dam, yes, there is an urgent need for that. Lebanon, although it is a country rich in water, is that it only invests ۱۷ % of its water, and the remainder of which goes wasted, in addition to suffering from the scarcity of water, especially in the summer, where the lip water reaches the houses twice a week, with what is not enough for people to need it, This matter is suffering from the people of the villages and the people of Beirut, and one of the townspeople followed Ain al -Arish, so he discovered that it stems from Turkey and passes through Syria and then reaches mystery, and therefore it preserves its temperature and cold in the winter in the winter.
Is the perfumes among the villages that suffer from water scarcity in summer?
The Baroque River is the river that tells the villages surrounding us, and mystery is the only village in the Chouf that irrigates its water. As its land is overflowing with our eyes, perhaps more than the number of days of the year, as the number of springs was counted in it, reaching 365 spring, and there are some houses that have a banner inside or near the house. However, perfumes may be known days that increase the need for water in it, which creates a problem, but the municipality has deliberately a few years from a new water network to prevent waste, and everyone is able to drink from the water of the spring of Ain al -Arish »while he is in his home) and one of the town’s sons followed Ain Al -Arish, and discovered that it stems from Turkey and passes through Syria and then reaches mystery, and therefore it preserves its temperature and cold in the summer of winter.
Why is the largest dam in Lebanon?
It is considered the largest in terms of area and the amount of water, in addition to securing one million and 600 thousand km 3 of the lip water, and the generation of medium electrical energy, and its walls will be thick of cement and backfilling to prevent water leakage from it, and its extension will be 740 meters….
In conclusion, the Chouf in general is a region that is characterized by its clean nature and the environmental awareness of its children, and this matter can be verified by roaming in the chauvinistic villages, and we cannot accept a project that harms our environment, and our acceptance of the dam is based on the fact that the positives of the emerging lake exceeds the damage caused by the life of the lands of the Marj with water with twice The Lake will solve the problem of lip water in many villages and in Beirut, and it will revive the area surrounding the dam.
