The World Bank recently extended $43.5 million in loans to Lebanon for the development of potable water and sewage projects in the Ba'albeck region, reported Lebinvest. The loan will be channeled through the bank’s Council for Development (CDR). The project is expected to strengthen the capacity of the Ba'albeck Hermel Water and Irrigation Authority and the Zahle and Chamsine Water Authorities. The private sector will be involved in the operation and maintenance of the new water and wastewater facilities. Despite the availability of water resources in Lebanon, the water supply and wastewater sector does not produce satisfactory services for the majority of the population. Close half of all water produced is unaccounted for because of losses and billing inefficiencies, while overflowing wastewater collection systems cause severe sanitary conditions and taint surface and groundwater resources. — (menareport.com) menareport.com The United Emirates’ (UAE) water demand is projected to rise from 630 million gallons per day in 2000 to 973 million gallons in 2005 and 1.24 billion in 2010, placing the UAE as one of the largest water consumers in the world, reported the official WAM news agency. The large increase is attributed to a rapid population growth and steady expansion in the farming and industrial sectors. The emirate of Abu Dhabi will remain the highest consumer of sweet water, with demand growing to around 576 million gallons per day in 2005 and 730 million gallons per day in 2010. Dubai's consumption is expected to grow to 220 million gallons and 318 million gallons over the same period. — (menareport.com) menareport.com
