Project Description Page 1 of 14 Despite its relatively abundant water resources, Lebanon is significantly water-stressed. Groundwater is over-extracted by 200 million cubic meters (MCM) per year and water supply reaches as low as three hours per day in the summer season across many regions. Lebanon further only stores six percent of its total water resources, rendering it the country with the lowest dam capacity across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

  • Request for an Inspection on the Impacts of the Bisri Dam Project in Lebanon
    June 24th, 2019 To: Executive Secretary, the Inspection Panel 1818 H Street NW, MSN 10 - 1007, Washington, DC 20433, USA REQUEST FOR AN INSPECTION ON THE IMPACTS OF THE BISRI DAM PROJECT IN LEBANON We, the Lebanon Eco Movement (LEM), are a network of 60 environmental NGOs advocating for sustainable development and the protection of the environment in Lebanon. The movement co- founded the Save the Bisri Valley Campaign in collaboration with the affected communities and a group of experts. LEM is also a member in the Arab Watch Coalition. In this request, we represent a group of residents and landowners whose addresses and signatures are enclosed below. We are also attaching a copy of a new petition that gathered more than 30,000 signatures (Annex Z.b). Our network submitted an earlier request for inspection on June 6th, 2018, and the Panel did not recommend investigation. While we acknowledge the Panel’s previous efforts to address our concerns, we believe that the first complaint was not satisfactorily answered. The Recommendation Report given by the Panel focused more on ensuring a checklist of studies is filled rather than evaluating the validity of the studies and, most importantly, the grave social, environmental and economic harms the project poses to Lebanon. Consequently, the Panel accepted inaccurate information and factual discrepancies provided by the Bank Management. Additionally, given the emergence of new evidence and circumstances, we are submitting a new request for inspection. Our concerns have been already conveyed to the relevant authorities and to the World Bank Management in Beirut. However, the concerns were either disregarded, or addressed with neglect and delay.

    AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF BEIRUT IN THE SHADOW OF PLANNING? ECONOMIC AND COMMUNAL INTERESTS IN THE MAKING OF THE SHEMLAN MASTER PLAN by LANA SLEIMAN SALMAN A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Planning and Policy to the Department of Architecture and Design of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at the American University of Beirut Beirut, Lebanon January 2014 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis has been in the making for longer than I would like to admit. In between, life happened. I would not have been able to finish this project without the support of many people no acknowledgment would do justice to, but I will try. Mona Fawaz, my thesis advisor, provided patient advice over the years. Throughout our meetings, she continuously added more nuances to this work, and pointed out all the analytical steps I have missed. The rigor and political commitment of her scholarship are admirable and inspirational. Thank you Mona for your patience, and your enthusiasm about this work and its potential. Mona Harb has closely accompanied my journey in the MUPP program and beyond. Her support throughout various stages of this work and my professional career were crucial. Thank you. In subtle and obvious ways, I am very much their student. Hiba Bou Akar’s work was the original inspiration behind this thesis. Her perseverance and academic creativity are a model to follow. She sets a high bar. Thank you Hiba. Nisreen Salti witnessed my evolution from a sophomore at the economics department to a graduate student. Her comments as someone from outside the discipline were enlightening.
