This study aims to determine the extent of groundwater damage in the Upper Litani River Basin (ULRB) after years of water mismanagement and overfertilization in what is considered to be Lebanon’s largest fertile area. Physical and chemical samples were collected between 2005 and 2010 and analyzed using “The Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater” (APHA, AWWA) in order to determine the extent of this pollution. The parameters included pH, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, sulfate, phosphate, dissolved oxygen, and total dissolved solids.

River restoration contributes to overall improvement of the river basin ecological state. Ecologically sound river restoration strives for rehabilitation of the lost ecological functions, contribution to biodiversity, support of the species recovery through wild animal habitats development and improvement of inner and coastal waters quality due to retention of sediments, nutrients and pollutants during the flood periods. Issues of river restoration in Europe, objectives of European Center for River Restoration as well as EU Framework Water Directive influence on water management in Europe has been discussed.
