About
Wastewater Management
Under its wastewater management component, CSP is collaborating with the Ministry of Energy and Water (MoEW), regional water establishments (RWEs), the Litani River Authority (LRA), municipalities, and local communities to design and implement interventions that mitigate pollution resulting from the discharge of untreated domestic and industrial wastewater.
CSP is focusing primarily on the construction or rehabilitation of wastewater facilities to ensure that they have the appropriate technology to manage domestic wastewater output. CSP is also collaborating with the Association of Lebanese Industrialists to incentivize private industries to install environmentally friendly equipment and implement processes that mitigate their wastewater pollution.
