WASTEWATER REUSE IN LEBANON : POLICY, LEGAL, AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK  

Water resources are increasingly limited in Middle East and North African (MENA) countries; treated wastewater offers a potentially viable, cost effective solution to reduce stress on renewable resources, and promote water and food security. The objective of this study is to provide an overview of the existing policy, legal, and regulatory framework governing wastewater reuse in Lebanon, Morocco, and Jordan. This analysis – which focuses on Lebanon (separate reports assess Morocco and Jordan) – could serve as one tool to inform decision-makers and help tighten gaps in the wastewater reuse sector in the MENA region.
