Lebanon is an upper-middle-income country, with a population of 4.5 million people and a\ngross domestic product (GDP) of US$10,058 per capita in 2014. [1] The country is highly urbanized,\nwith more than 85 percent of its population living in cities. [2] Lebanon has an open economy in which\nservices and trade are the most important sectors with tourism and financial services being a backbone\nof the national economy [3] . The economy is driven by a dynamic private sector and dependent on\nfinancial flows from the Arab Gulf countries. The country is known for the high quality of its\neducation system. [4]\n\n\n2. **The Lebanese economy expanded at a moderate pace (3.6 percent annually) during the**\n**past five decades.** However, political instability and the spillovers from regional conflicts made this\ngrowth erratic and unstable. Moreover, the ongoing conflict in Syria has resulted in unprecedented\nnumber of refugees (estimated at 1.5 million [5] ), accounting for nearly 30 percent of the country’s\npopulation. This complex political, social, and security environment put an additional strain on the\neconomy and public services. In fact, the real GDP growth decreased from 8 percent in 2010 to an\nestimated 1.5 percent in 2015. [6]\n\n\n3. **Poverty affects nearly 28 percent of the Lebanese population (living on US$4 per day) and**\n**extreme poverty touches 8 percent (living on US$2.4 per day)** . [7] The highest concentration of poor\nis found in the North, followed by the South and the Beqaa. In addition, most refugees are\nconcentrated in the already impoverished area of the Beqaa (35 percent) and North Lebanon (35\npercent). In addition to the estimated 1.5 million Lebanese living under the poverty line, there are an\nadditional 1.5 million vulnerable Syrian refugees and 320,000 Palestinian refugees, brining the total\nvulnerable population in Lebanon today to more that 3.3 million. In light of these challenges, job\ncreation and social protection are among the main development priorities in the country. [8]\n\n\n4. Lebanon made considerable progress in shaping the legal and institutional framework and\nrestoring infrastructure after the civil war (1975-89) and the more recent conflict with Israel (2006).\nHowever, the country is still at an **early stage of transition to environmental sustainability** . The\ncost of environmental degradation in Lebanon was estimated at 3.2 percent of the country’s GDP in\n2005. [9] Water pollution stands out as the country’s major environmental problem, costing more than\none percent of the GDP per year. This accounts for the damages caused by the discharge of untreated\nsewage, industrial effluent, and agricultural runoff into valleys, rivers, and the Mediterranean Sea.\n\n\n1 World Development Indicator, World Bank.\n2 World Bank. 2014.

Rising from the Olleiq springs close to the\ncity of Baalbeck, it flows for 170 km through the Beqaa valley and the Qaraoun Lake, before it\nreaches the Mediterranean Sea (Figure 1). The upper Litani River catchment extends over an area of\n1,500 km [2] (10 percent of the Lebanese territory) and comprises 99 towns distributed into\nfouradministrative districts: Baalbeck, Zahlé, West Beqaa, and Rachayya.\n\n\n6. The major water structure along the Litani River is the Qaraoun Dam, which forms the\n**Qaraoun Lake** (or resevoir). It was built in 1959 to produce hydropower and provide water for\nirrigation and water supply. Qaraoun Lake is the largest artificial lake in Lebanon. It is situated in\nWest Beqaa at an altitude of 800 m and covers an area of 12 km [2] . The lake has a storage capacity of\n220 million m [3], of which 160 million m [3 ] are used for irrigation and hydropower and the remaining for\ndry season storage. The lake’s water generates electricity in the Awali (108 MW); Joun (48 MW); and\nMarkaba (34 MW) hydropower plants. It also irrigates about 30 percent of the country’s irrigated\nland, comprising 36,000 ha of agricultural area in the South and 1,400 ha in the Beqaa valley.\n\n\n\n\n\n_Source:_ MoE/United Nations Development Program (UNDP) /Earth Link & Advanced Resources Development (ElARD)\n\n\n_**Pollution of Water Resources**_\n\n7.

[10]\n\n  - **Municipal wastewater** _._ In 2010, the volume of wastewater generated in the Beqaa was\n\nestimated at 45 million m [3 ] with an annual load of 15,500 tons of Biochemical Oxygen Demand\n(BOD). Most wastewater is currently discharged untreated into the Litani River.\n\n  - **Industrial wastewater** _._ This is estimated at about 4 million m [3] in the Beqaa. There are\n\nfactories producing effluents that are conveyed to surface water through nearby tributaries. Out\nof 294 industrial establishments in the region, 120 are large-scale industries located within 400\nm of the Litani River, its tributaries, or the Qaraoun Lake.\n\n  - **Municipal solid waste** . Waste generated in the upper catchment of Qaraoun Lake is estimated\n\nat 650 tons per day. Because of the lack of sanitary landfills, most garbage is dumped in open\ndumps and in the Litani River along the Qaraoun catchment. Water pollution comes from\nlittering and surface water runoff of solid waste.This is acute when the waste site is close to\nsurface water streams. The main dump sites exerting pressure on the Litani River are Temnin\nEl Tahta, Saadnayel old dump, Qabb Elias, Barr Elias, Hawch El Harimi, El Khiyara, Ghazzé,\nand Jeb Jennine dump sites.\n\n  - **Agriculture.** The largest use of land in the Litani River basin is for agriculture. In 2010,\n\nirrigated agriculture in the Beqaa Valley covered about 54,000 ha, primarily concentrated in:\nBaalbeck, (24,000 ha); Zahlé (16,000 ha); and West Beqaa (10,000 ha). [11] Vegetables, fruit\ntrees, and industrial crops are the main irrigated crops in these areas. [12] Agricultural water\npollution originates mainly from irrigation overflows and seepage. A field survey conducted in\n2010 [13] concluded that farmers in Beqaa are over-fertilizing their crops and many pesticides are\nbeing applied at almost twice the recommended rates. As a result, agricultural chemicals and\nnon-degradable pesticides end up in waterways with irrigation overflows.\n\n\n_**Business Plan to Combat Pollution in Qaraoun Lake**_\n\n\n8. The Ministry of Environment (MoE) commissioned a _Business Plan_ in 2010 to help the\nGovernment of Lebanon (GoL) identify the major sources of pollution in Qaraoun Lake and\nrecommend appropriate solutions to mitigate them (detailed information is provided in Annex 2). The\n_Business Plan_ was completed in 2011 and endorsed by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers in\n2012. The plan includes detailed prioritized investments for each polluting sector, with a financing\nrequirement estimated at about US$255 million. In February 2013, the GoL requested World Bank\nassistance to fund priority activities of the _Business Plan_ .\n\n\n9. The _Business Plan_ identifies the two largest pressures as municipal wastewater and agriculture.\nAction on agriculture sources of pollution is needed to improve the overall surface water while\ncontinuing to contribute to the agriculture sector, a key sector, in the Beqaa Valley. Municipal\nwastewater priority actions identified relate to increasing the volume of wastewater treated in Zahlé,\nIaat, Temninm El Tahta, Anjar/ Majdel Anjar/ Qabb Elias (hereafter referred to as Anjar Wastewater\nTreatment Plant -WWTP), Jeb Jannine where the population and economic activity are most dense.\n\n\n10 Republic of Lebanon. 2011.

It is considered the only regulatory environmental agency in the\ncountry. In relation to the proposed project, the MoE is responsible for regulating the collection and\ndisposal of solid waste.\n\n\n11. **The Ministry of Energy and Water** (MoEW) is responsible for the strategic planning and\nmanagement of water resources. Prior to 2000, there were 21 regional water utilities. Water Law 221\nof the year 2000 and its amendments merged them into four Water and Wastewater Establishments\nand one pre-existing river authority: North Lebanon, Beirut/Mount Lebanon, Beqaa, South Lebanon,\nand the Litani River Authority (LRA). This was a major step towards consolidating the responsibility\nof these establishments and clarifying their mandate as public agencies empowering them to better\nmanage water and wastewater services. The ultimate role of the water establishment is to have full\nadministrative and financial autonomy over the provision of water and wastewater services and\nirrigation. In reality, water establishments are not yet fully staffed and operational nor are they\nfinancially autonomous. The Beqaa Water and Wastewater Establishment (BWE) is the one\nresponsible for the project area. The BWE inherited distribution networks in poor conditions, with\nvery high levels of illegal connections and very low collection rates from those legally connected.\nLRA is a public establishment under the MoEW primarily responsible for (a) utilizing hydro electrical\npower plants; (b) constructing irrigation schemes, (c) conducting preliminary studies and constructing\ndams, and (d) monitoring the quality of the Litani River.\n\n\n12. **The Ministry of Agriculture** (MoA). The MoA has overall responsibility for the development\nof the agriculture sector. While the MoEW has the overall mandate for water resources, including\nirrigation, the MoA has the prime responsibility for irrigation at the farm level. Sustainable\nmanagement and conservation of natural resources is considered an important pillar of the MoA’s\nstrategy for 2010  2014. The strategy gives high priority to enhancing the efficient use of irrigation,\nexpanding the use of treated wastewater for irrigation, and reducing water pollution from agricultural\nchemicals. The MoA is also responsible for the regulation of pesticide and fertilizer imports,\nmarketing, and use, and it has launched a series of measures to enhance enforcement of these\nregulations and promote awareness about the proper use, handling, and disposal of pesticides.\n\n\n13. **The Council for Development and Reconstruction** (CDR). The CDR, established through\nDecree no.5 of 1977 is responsible for preparing national development plans, implementing\ninfrastructure projects, and mobilizing external financing to lead the reconstruction and development\nof the country. The CDR is accountable to the Council of Ministers.\n\n\n14. **The Qaraoun Committee** . In June 2012, a committee was established [14] to study the pollution\nproblems of the Litani River and Qaraoun Lake and to propose remedial measures. The committee\nincluded representation of all key stakeholders and was active in the preparation and review of the\n_Business Plan for Combating Pollution of the Qaraoun Lake_ . Once the Business Plan and subsequent\nroadmap were agreed upon, the study committee was dissolved. In May 2014, the Qaraoun Committee\nwas established [15] to follow up on the implementation of the roadmap to combat pollution in Qaraoun\nLake. The committee includes 16 members representing key stakeholders and has assigned the\nsecretariat responsibility to the Litani River Authority.

[16] By enhancing service delivery and\ntargeting an impoverished area with a large number of refugees the project contributes to the new\n**MNA Regional Strategy** [17] . The proposed operation is also directly in line with the **Lebanon**\n**Country Partnership Framework FY17- FY22 (Report 94768-LB),** which will be discussed at the\nBoard on July 14 [th], 2016, which identifies water pollution as one of the main reasons for\nenvironmental degradation in the country, contributing to a loss of about 1 percent of GDP annually.\nFurthermore, Lebanon’s climate change model projections suggest a more rapid warm-up than the\nglobal average and an annual reduction in precipitation. Snow water storage, which plays an important\nrole in water supply, is also likely to be affected. The combined effect of increased temperature,\nreduced rainfall and reduced snow water storage will have important consequences on water\navailability. Adapting to climate change will require a more efficient management of water quantity\nand quality in Lebanon. In line with MNA’s regional _Climate Action Plan_ _[18]_, the proposed _Lake_\n_Qaraoun Pollution Prevention Project_ intends to reduce water pollution to safeguard precious water\nresources.\n\n\n16. The proposed project contributes to achieving **Lebanon’s National Strategy for the**\n**Wastewater Sector** (2012). The strategy’s main targets are to: (a) increase wastewater collection (60\npercent) and treatment (8 percent) to 95 percent by 2020; (b) increase reuse of treated effluent from 0\npercent to 50 percent by 2020; and (c) recover Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs fully by\n2020. The new strategy aims at avoiding mistakes made in the past—whereby wastewater treatments\nplants were built without being connected to collection networks—and giving top priority to\ncompleting existing treatment plants and rapidly increasing the effective connection network to bring\ntreatment rates to the level of installed treatment capacity, thereby, adopting an integrated investment\napproach for wastewater collection and treatment.

The **investments part under this project**, is the first tranche to be financed (US$60 million)\nout of the US$255 million program identified in the _Business Plan_, focusing on reducing one of the\nfour sources of pollution, municipal wastewater, by extending the sewage network for municipal\nwater and connecting the network to wastewater treatment plants that are either functional or soon to\nbecome functional. This is the most strategic investment as it will allow optimizing the functioning of\nthe wastewater plant and hence ensure the sustainability of existing investments. The **technical**\n**assistance part of the project** covers two sources of pollution, agriculture and solid waste, by\nsupporting capacity building and preparatory studies respectively. Other donors, especially the\nEuropean Union (EU), are already funding sorting and landfilling facilities in the upper Litani basin.\n\n\n23. With regard to industrial wastewater, Lebanon’s National Wastewater Strategy requires that by\n2020, all industries will have to pre-treat wastewater before discharge into the municipal wastewater\nnetwork. As such, the Bank-funded _Lebanon Environmental Pollution Abatement Project (P143594)_\nprovides a line of credit and technical support to industries to assist them in installing pretreatment\nfacilities.

Farmers in the upper Litani basin often apply excessive rates of fertilizers [30] and pesticides,\nleading to increased levels of nitrates and pesticides in the Litani River. In addition, inefficient\nirrigation practices result in excessive leaching and salinization. To improve pollution management\naround Qaraoun Lake, this component will promote the use of sustainable production systems among\nfarmers in the upper Litani basin, by introducing GAP, including reduced fertilizer application and\nselected IPM measures - for example, reduced pesticides application. These practices are expected to\nprovide increased quality of agricultural products (without reducing yields); farmers’ savings (through\ndecreased cost of production); and reduced pollution of the Litani River.\n\n\n32. The component will target about 750 large farmers [31] located in the West Beqaa and Zahlé\ndistricts, given their impact and close proximity to Qaraoun Lake and Litani River. [32] IPM activities\nwill be implemented through the Farmer Field Schools (FFS) methodology, which is a proven\nmethodology that is based on a participatory approach to train and empower farmers on the use of\nIPM techniques and on the proper handling and disposal of pesticides. Similar participatory\napproaches will be used to train farmers on alternative methods and practices for sustainable fertilizer\nuse in the project area. Baseline surveys and regular farm visits will be conducted to monitor the use\nof agrochemicals by targeted farmers as well as the sales of these chemicals in the project area.\n\n\n33. The component is based on four steps:\n\n   - _Assess current agricultural practices and develop a GAP-IPM program._ Review previous\nsurveys, undertake chemical analysis of soil and water, and identify essential practices to\naddress existing gaps (that is, activities, target farmers, and crops).\n\n   - _Train professionals and facilitators in GAP-IPM practices._ Train field technical staff from the\nMoA, other stakeholders, and facilitators on extension and FFS methods to promote the\npractices identified above.\n\n   - _Implement the GAP-IPM program at the farm._ Identify the FFS curriculum and agricultural\ninputs needed and establish and run the FFS based on crops and target areas.\n\n   - _Evaluate and monitor for sustainability._ Provide the monitoring, review, and follow-up\nstrategy for sustainability of the project outcomes.\n\n\n34. Since 2004, the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has been implementing a Regional\nIntegrated Pest Management Program in the Near East that covers ten countries (including Lebanon).\nThe MoA has, therefore, requested assistance from the FAO in implementing this component of the\nproject. As explained in the procurement section, the CDR will sign a standard technical assistance\nagreement with the FAO to implement this component.\n\n\n_**Component 3.

Of the four newly established water establishments, the\nBWE covers the largest area (about 45 percent of Lebanon). The BWE still has to fill about 400\nvacant positions but has limited financial resources to hire staff while the Government has put a freeze\non hiring new staff for public organizations. This is limiting the BWE’s capacity to fulfill its\nmandate.The BWE’s capacity to operate and maintain the three water activities needs to be developed,\nparticularly in the wastewater sector. The BWE Business Plan for 2013–2017 has outlined the main\ndeficiencies and recommended actions to be undertaken on various critical issues, in particular (a)\nBWE organizational structure and management; (b) a human resources program that will prepare\nBWE staff to assume responsibility for wastewater network and treatment facilities; (c) collection\nefficiency; (d) documentation of customers, including the reduction of unregistered and illegal users;\n(e) extension and improvement of service level to the unserved population; (f) introduction of\nhousehold water metering and consumption-based tariff that takes into account cost of O&M; (g)\nsetting up of utility management standards and monitoring performance in line with the National\nWater Sector Strategy; and (h) achievement of financial sustainability. A detailed description of the\nBWE’s capacity is provided in Annexes 2 and 4.\n\n\n40.

Lessons learned under previous Bank operations, especially in the water and wastewater sector,\nhave been taken into account in the design of the proposed operation including the following:\n\n\n45. **Involve line ministries and water establishments from the project onset** _**.**_ One of the lessons\nlearnt through the Bank’s long engagement in the water and wastewater sector is the need to invlove\nline ministries and water establishments from the project onset. Within this proposed project, sectors\nare associated in every phase of the project. The PMU based at the CDR will be lean as each technical\nexpert will be working out of the related sector premises. In addition, the project steering committee\n(that is, the Qaraoun Committee) already includes members of key stakeholder groups and the CDR;\nthis will facilitate the flow of information and decisions.\n\n\n46. **Involve the private sector in the O&M of water and wastewater infrastructure** . BWE has\nmade a number of important investments in recent years in water supply and wastewater systems with\nthe assistance of several donors, in particular the World Bank (about US$100 million). Given BWE’s\n\n\n13\n\n\n",

As explained in Box 1,\ndue to the emergency nature of the Iaat WWTP, the Bank went ahead with the construction of the\nWWTP on the understanding that the Government will build the sewage network that will feed into\nthe plants. Building the network did not materialize and the Iaat WWTP stayed idle for several years.\nDuring the preparation of this project, every effort was made to give priority to optimize investments\nalready made before tackling new investment.\n\n\n48. **Using FAO experience in promoting GAP-IPM practices** _._ In addition, the project learned\nfrom the FAO’s outstanding technical and operational experience in developing and implementing\nsustainable strategies for IPM and conservation agriculture. As a leader of three regional IPM\nprograms—in Asia, Near East, and West Africa—and several stand-alone national projects, the FAO\nis a pioneer in promoting IPM practices. Component 2 of the project will use the FAO’s tested\napproaches (for example, FFS) to crop production and protection, combining different management\npractices to grow healthy crops and minimize the use of fertilizers and pesticides.\n\n\n49. **Need to build the capacity of a river basin agency for planning and monitoring at basin**\n**level** . While there is not at this stage a river basin agency in the Beqaa, the LRA is in effect the\nclosest institution as it has been given the secretariat role for the implementation of the roadmap of the\nbusiness plan and it has the mandate of measuring water quality. As such, the project will start\nstrengthening the capacity of the LRA in modeling, water quality monitoring, and communication.\n\nIV. **IMPLEMENTATION**\n\n\n50. **Project Implementing Entity** . The project will be implemented by CDR, in close cooperation\nwith MoEW, MOE, MOA, LRA and BWE and the recently established _Qaraoun Committee_ **.**\n\n\n51. **Project Management Unit (PMU)** .The CDR will be the implementing agency, given the\nmultisectoral aspects of the project, its wide experience with Bank operations, and its familiarity with\nfiduciary and safeguards aspects. The PMU will be headed by a project coordinator under the CDR’s\nresponsibility. The PMU will be responsible for contract management, fiduciary and safeguards\noversight, auditing, monitoring and reporting, coordination, and so on. However, as described earlier,\nline ministries have been involved in the preparation of the project from the onset and will continue to\nbe involved during implementation. As such, technical experts will be recruited by the CDR as part of\nthe PMU but will be assigned to the line ministries/agencies and will report to the PMU project\ncoordinator at the CDR and their respective sectors. This arrangement will facilitate and bridge the\ngap between the CDR and the line ministries. It will also contribute to raising capacity in the different\nsectors involved.\n\n\n52. **The Qaraoun Committee** _._ As described earlier, the Qaraoun Committee—formally\nestablished by COM decision 32 of May 2014—already includes a representative from each\n\n\n14\n\n\n",

Monitoring and evaluation of outcomes and results during implementation will follow standard\nBank practices. The PMU will prepare a **Progress Report** every semester (six months). The Project\nManager of the PMU will have the overall responsibility of collating information that will be provided\nby the technical specialists at MoEW, MoE, MoA, LRA and BWE, and FAO. The Progress Report\nwill collate all data related to project performance and will report on the progress of each indicator.\nThe Progress Report will be communicated to all participating Ministries and the World Bank at the\nlatest 45 days after each semester. To enhance transparency, the Progress Report will be published\nonline. With regard to PDO level indicators (i) the quantiy for municipal wastewater collected and\ntreated under the project will stem from supervision consultants reports and will be the prime\nresponsibility of CDR; (ii) with regard to the nutrient load reduction (N) achieved under the project\nthis will be measured by total tons reduced per year. The recommended amount of nitrogen is 11.5\nkg/du (according to FAO standards); farmers in the Beqaa are currently useind three times as much\n(about 31 kg/du). Through FAO/MOA technical assistance component, the quantity is expected to be\nreduced by half. This indicator will be monitored by FAO; (iii) the number of locations monitored\nmonthly for water quality is the prime responsibility of LRA. In addition, discharged treated\nwastewater will be monitoried monthly in accordance with the Lebanese standards (Decision\n8/1/2001) as further explained in the safeguards documents.\n\n\n54. In addition, the LRA currently has a sustained – albeit limited—monthly monitoring of ten\nlocations in the upper Litani River Basin for selected indicators [35] . It uses a simple Water Quality\nIndex (WQI), which presents the advantage of communicating water quality information in an\nunderstandable way for all stakeholders.

Its capacity to implement the proposed project is strong. However, the\nlong-term sustainability of water and wastewater infrastructures in the Beqaa is the responsibility of\nthe BWE and MoEW, which has much weaker capacity. To mitigate this risk, the team has ensured\nthat BWE was, from the onset, closely involved in project preparation. It has also dedicated a\nsubcomponent of the project to build BWE’s technical and financial capacity and help them raise\nrevenues by improving water and wastewater fee collection. BWE is also an active member of the\nQaraoun Committee.\n\n59. **Technical Design of Project (Substantial): delay in construction of Anjar WWTP.** The\ntechnical design of components 1 and 2 are straightforward and do not involve any risk. However, the\nrating has been elevated to Substantial due to the risk of delay in construction of Anjar WWTP. Anjar\nWWTP will be financed through the Italian Protocol and the Italian Directive Board already approved\nthe financing in April 2015. However, experience from other projects has shown that there is a risk of\ndelay in launching the tender and the subsequent construction of the WWTP. To mitigate this risk, the\nteam has planned construction of the Anjar house connections in the last years of the project to give as\nmuch time as possible for the construction of the WWTP.\n\nVI. **APPRAISAL SUMMARY**\n\n\n_**Economic Analysis**_\n\n\n60. This section describes the justification for public sector provision; the expected project impact;\nthe Bank’s value added; and the results of a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) carried out for the project.\n\n\n61. **Justification for public sector provision** . Water pollution is an externality caused by market\nfailure as there is no penalty for actions polluting water. Therefore, the private sector alone has no\nincentive to resolve the problem. Without an intervention, these market failures will continue to\ngenerate negative externalities to the environment (for example, pollution of the Litani River) and the\npopulation living nearby (for example, increased health risk due to pesticide residues in crops). Thus,\nusing public sector funds to finance the project is considered appropriate.\n\n\n62. **Expected project impact** .The project’s expected benefits include (a) reduced pollution of the\nLitani River and Qaraoun Lake; (b) improved wastewater services in the project area; and (c) improved\nquality of fresh produce in the upper Litani basin.\n\n\n63. **Bank value added** .The Bank is uniquely positioned to provide expert technical input based on\nthe lessons learned from several years of operations in the water and environment sectors in Lebanon,\nparticularly in the Beqaa region. Examples include the Baalbeck Water and Wastewater Project\n(P074042); the West Beqaa Emergency Water Supply Project (P103885); the Solid\nWaste/Environmental Management project (P005345); and analytical work Lebanon Country\nEnvironmental Analysis and the Cost of Environmental Degradation.

The\nresults show that the project generates benefits in excess of their costs, with an Internal Rate of Return\n(IRR) of **17 percent** . To account for the long-term benefits provided by the project’s investments, the\nanalysis covers a 25-year time horizon [36] . It captures several benefits, such increased aesthetic and\nrecreational value along the Litani River and its tributaries due to sewerage network; reduced incidence\nof water-borne diseases (diarrhea) due to improved sanitation; and farmers’ savings, because of the\nadoption of GAP-IPM practices. The analysis includes costs related to sewerage networks and farmers’\ntraining.\n\n\n65. At a disaggregated level, the IRR is 17 percent for Component 1 and 30 percent for Component\n2. In addition, results of a sensitivity analysis suggest that the project is economically viable also at 20\npercent increase in cost (IRR of 13 percent). It remains economically feasible, with an IRR of 15\npercent, if downsized to exclude Subcomponent 1.2 - _Expansion of sewage network to connect to the_\n_Anjar WWTP_ (see Annex 5).\n\n\n_**Financial Analysis**_\n\n\n66. The BWE is a public agency established under the Water Law 221 of 2000 and its\namendments, with a mandate to manage water resources of the Beqaa region. It operates by\nestablishing sources of water, distributing and connecting new subscribers, maintaining the network,\nand collecting fees. The MoEW finances all capital investments, which after completion, are handed\nover to the BWE for O&M. The BWE accounts are still based on a cash system. Records are not on\naccrual basis and there is no disclosure of operational assets or account for liability or depreciation\nexpenses. Despite these limitations, an attempt has been made to analyze the BWE revenues and\nexpenses and to project financial flow in the future.\n\n\n67. **Water and wastewater fees** _._ The present water tariff charged is based on a fixed fee. Each\nhousehold connected is supposed to get 1 m [3] of potable water per day. However, given the\nintermittence of water supply, households are receiving less than what they are billed for. Presently,\nthe water supply fee is set at Lebanese Pounds (LBP) 220,000 per household per year (US$146).\nStarting in 2013, a wastewater fee was introduced: it is LBP 10,000 (US$6.5) for a household\nconnected to a wastewater network and LBP 20,000 (US$13) for a household connected to a WWTP.\nA modest fee is also billed for irrigation water at LBP 5,000 per hour.\n\n\n_**Past performance**_\n\n\n68. **BWE revenues** . Water collection rate has increased substantially over the years but remains\nbelow standards. As shown in the BWE records, the collection rate of water fees has increased from\n17.5 percent in 2009 to about **35 percent in 2013** . No increase was noticed in 2014, however, given\nthe critical role that bill collection plays, BWE is submitting a new proposal to its Board to reactivate\nthe issue. New subscriptions and the outreach campaign during the previous Bank-funded project and\nwith the assistance of other donors have contributed to improvement in the BWE revenue collection by\nabout 100 percent from 2009 to 2013. Efforts made during the last three years have had a positive\nimpact on BWE finances. BWE is now able to regularly pay its staff and part of its electricity bills.\nBWE’s cash on hand as of August 2014 was equivalent to approximately 1.5 year’s worth of staff\n\n36 This corresponds to the lifetime of sewerage network constructed by Component 1.\n\n\n18\n\n\n",

Available data on revenues and expenses show\nthat the BWE contribution to cost recovery increased from 31 percent in 2008 to nearly 50 percent in\n2013. The latter estimate is in the same range with the cost recovery of well-functioning water utilities\nin other countries, such as Tunisia where cost recovery is in the range of 65-70 percent.\n\n\n_**Future performance**_\n\n\n71. To assess the BWE’s future performance, the revenues and costs were projected for the period\n2015–2022, based on two scenarios: (a) a conservative scenario, where the collection rate increases\ngradually to 56 percent by 2022 and (b) an optimistic scenario involving an increase of collection rate\nto 81 percent by 2022. For both scenarios, the results of the analysis reveal that the BWE is able to\nimprove the cost recovery to an estimated 90 percent (excluding depreciation) by 2022. The details are\npresented in Annex 4.\n\n\n72. The project consists of three subcomponents related to the expansion of sewage networks\nfeeding into existing or proposed wastewater treatment plants.

An assessment of the CDR’s procurement capacity was undertaken as part of project\npreparation. The Public Accounting Law of 1963, supplemented by several decrees, constitutes the\nlegal foundation of Lebanon’s organizational and institutional framework for procurement. The current\nsystem has remained entirely centralized, with the Department of Tenders being in charge of public\nprocurement. The CDR is, however, exempt from the Public Accounting Law of 1963. Since its\nestablishment in 1977 as a legally and financially autonomous state agency, the CDR has operated\nunder special procurement regulations. This was formalized in 1980 through a decree covering the\nCDR’s financial and accounting transactions assigned to the CDR by the minister of Finance. As a\nresult, the CDR, under the monitoring of its Board, can adhere to the procurement requirements of\ndonors including the Bank.\n\n\n81. The CDR has demonstrated its capability to handle large and complex projects by using a\ncombination of its own staff and outsourced staff and consultants to address the capacity needs of each\nspecific project. In a reorganization of its functions in 2003, the CDR created a bureau for monitoring\nand evaluation as well as for appointing bid evaluation committees. The CDR at times, and when a\nproject team is not adequately staffed, still faces difficulties in managing procurement issues due to the\nnumber of projects being implemented. To ensure satisfactory performance under this project, the\nCDR needs to use qualified outsourced procurement and technical consultants in addition to its own\nstaff. Contract management capacity also needs to be improved to ensure timely decision-making and\namendments to contracts as needed. Bank Standard Bidding Documents and Request for Proposals\n(RFPs) will be used for the Project.\n\n\n82. A Procurement Plan dated March 7, 2016 for the first 18 months of project implementation has\nbeen developed. Procurement support missions will take place along with regular implementation\nsuport missions planned for the project (twice a year) and as part of interim reviews. In the event of a\nneed for post review packages, these will be reviewed during Bank implementation support missions.\nTender documents for the first procurement package (Zahle network, which represents about 50\npercent of loan amount) has been prepared and will be submitted to the Bank for its review by August\n2016.\n\n\n83. As part of the plan, the CDR will use the services of the FAO for Component 2, as the FAO is\nuniquely qualified for the assignment.

Since the detailed design of subcomponents 1.2 and 1.3 will\nbe prepared during implementation, the final sewage pipelines alignments is not yet known; therefore a\nResettlement Policy Framework (RPF) has been prepared by following requirements of OP 4.12 and\nrelevant laws and regulations of Lebanon. Although no resettlement and only minor land acquisition\nare expected, a RPF will be used as a guideline for land expropriation during project implementation.\nThe RPF has already been reviewed and cleared by the Bank and has been disclosed in country\n(February 11, 2015) and in the Bank’s infoshop (February 12, 2015).

In 2010, the MoE commissioned a Business Plan to identify the major sources of pollution in\nQaraoun Lake and recommend appropriate solutions to mitigate them. The plan includes detailed\nprioritized investments for each polluting sector, with a financing requirement estimated at about\nUS$255 million.\n\n\n92. **The Business Plan methodology** _._ The Business Plan identified seven zones in the catchment\narea of the Litani River, based on the river tributaries. For each zone, a socioeconomic and\nenvironmental profile was determined as a result of a thorough desk review of previous studies and\ndatabases, liaisons with stakeholders, and extensive field data collection. Further, pollution pressures\nwere assessed from the following sources:\n\n\n   - _Solid Waste_ . Municipal, industrial, and healthcare waste disposal practices were analyzed\nacross the Litani catchment area. Then, the susceptibility of the surface water to pressure was\n\nassessed based on the pressure ’ s distance to the surface water stream, expert judgment from the\nfield examination, and the likelihood of the dumpsite receiving solid waste of hazardous\nnature.\n\n   - _Domestic wastewater_ . The severity of the threat from each urban settlement was assessed\nbased on several factors: discharge location, wastewater outflow, presence of a wastewater\nnetwork, and plans to connect the settlement to a wastewater treatment plant in the future.\n\n   - _Industrial wastewater_ .The pressures from industrial wastewater were assessed through a field\nsurvey of 294 industrial establishments and their prioritization according to their potential\ndirect impact on the Litani River.\n\n   - _Agriculture._ The analysis investigated two aspects of agricultural pollution: pesticides and\nfertilizer use. Two surveys targeting agricultural input suppliers and more than 100 farmers\nwere administered to collect information on the type of pesticides and fertilizers used per crop\nand the quantities of each compound applied per crop.\n\n\n93. The _Business Plan_ then assessed the quality of surface water and sediments in the Litani River,\ntributaries, and Qaraoun Lake based on: (a) desktop analysis of more than 15 studies pertaining to\nwater and sediment quality; (b) analysis of contaminant concentrations in surface water and recording\nof the overall frequency of exceeding guideline values; and (c) test of sediments for exceedances of\nmetal in sediments (for example, cadmium, lead, arsenic, zinc, vanadium, chromium, and copper).\nThe quality of water was determined to be good, average, or poor according to the number of\nexceedances of standards or guideline values for different end users. Finally, the Business Plan\nexamined the institutional, legal, and financial enabling environments in the solid waste, wastewater,\nand agricultural sectors and proposed measures to alleviate the pollution in the lake based on the\nseverity of the pressures identified and the gaps in addressing sectoral issues.\n\n\n94. In February 2013, the GoL requested the Bank’s assistance to fund priority activities of the\nBusiness Plan. On this basis, the Bank has identified the activities that will be funded through this\nproject and described in detail in the following paragraphs.\n\n\n25\n\n\n",

The Zahlé WWTP,\nwhich is under construction with funding from the Italian Protocol, aims primarily to protect the\nLitani River. Today, large quantities of sewage water in the Litani catchment area are discharged to\nthe river beds in an uncontrolled environment. The plant is expected to become operational in October\n2016. The plant is being constructed with a daily flow capacity of 37,300 m [3] and can be expanded to a\ndaily flow capacity of 56,000 m [3] by 2040. [39] The plant will connect to an existing network of about\n350km.\n\n\n97. **Existing sewerage network** _._ The project area is currently served by an old sewerage network.\nExisting collectors in Zahlé and Saadnayel mostly discharge into the Berdaouni River. The Hezzerta\nmunicipality is split into two areas: the old city served by an old network discharging into the\nBerdaouni and a new area served by one collector (300mm width) laid in the main road ZahléTarchich and connected to the Zahlé network which also discharges into the Berdaouni water course.\nQuaa El Rim village is served by an old sewerage system with a new line connected to the Zahlé\nsewer network. Taalabaya has a part that should be connected to the Zahlé WWTP. Currently all the\nsewerage systems mentioned above are working in separate systems.\n\n\n98. **The proposed project intends to finance:** (a) the construction of about 108 km of new\nsewerage network, (b) the rehabilitation of part of the old network, and (c) about 6,000 house\nconnections. According to the final design, the gravity sanitary sewage network will not require any\npumping station. The area that will be covered is Greater Zahlé (including Karak and Ksara), Quaa El\nRim, Hezzerta, Saadnayel, part of Taalabay, and a part of Forzol.\n\n\n**Table 2.1: Population and Wastewater Flow Projections**\n\n|Col1|2015|2030|2040|\n|---|---|---|---|\n|Zahlé|122,756|159,242|189,412|\n|Saadanayeh|21,255|27,568|32,795|\n|Quaa El Rim|3,821|4,956|5,896|\n|Hezzarta|4,942|6,410|7,624|\n|Taalabaya (part)|10,929|14,175|16,863|\n|Ferzol (part)|3,887|5,042|5,997|\n|**Population**|**167,590**|**217,390**|**258,590**|\n|**Equivalent population**|**217,900**|**282,600**|**336,200**|\n|Estimated wastewater flow (m3/day)|33,500|44,500|56,600|\n\n\n\n99. **Design criteria** _._ The design period for the project lasts until 2030 for the Zahlé WWTP and up\n\n39 Republic of Lebanon.

[40]\nThe design of the network is based on a topographic survey using cadastral maps and satellite images\nshowing routes and public domain for existing main networks, networks to be replaced, and the\nproposed new network. The design is being prepared in line with local and international standards.\nThe designed sewage collection network will only serve municipal wastewater. In the new network\nthe sewer is diluted by infiltration and inflow allowance (10 percent is used for design purpose). The\nmajority of the proposed sewer lines are in the public domain and do not need land acquisition. Some\nsections are on private land; the estimated land to be expropriated is 6,221 m [2] (further detail is\nprovided in the Social Safeguards section).\n\n\n**Table 2.2: Wastewater Estimate**\n\n\n**Wastewater estimate (l/capita/day)**\n\n**Rural Zone** **Urban Zone**\n\n              - Domestic water consumption 165 180\n\n              - Non domestic water\nconsumption (incl infiltration) 49.5 54\n\n               - Estimated sanitary flow 189 206\n\n\n**Subcomponent 1.2: Expansion of sewage network to connect to the Anjar WWTP (IBRD US$19**\n**million, GoL US$5 milion)**\n\n\n100. In 1995, the Ministry of Hydraulic and Electrical Resources—known today as the MoEW—\ncommissioned the formulation of a wastewater master plan for the district of West Beqaa. This plan\nincluded the construction of the Anjar WWTP close to the Litani River, with a capacity of 31,000m [3]\n(extendable to 42,300 m [3] per day). At that time, the treatment plant was expected to serve seven\nlocalities in West Beqaa—Anjar, Majdel Anjar, Saouiri, Barr Elias, El Marj, Er Raouda and Qabb\nElias—with a total population of 130,000. In 2004, the CDR requested to foresee the conveyance of\nwastewater from an additional ten localities of Zahlé district to Anjar WWTP. Currently, it is expected\nthat the Anjar WWTP will be built and connected to 17 localities from West Beqaa and Zahlé\ndistricts. In 2004, a feasibility study, an economic/financial study, and an EIA were prepared to assess\nthe feasibility of the Anjar WWTP. In 2010, the feasibility study was updated (to take into account\npopulation projections, wastewater flow projections, and wastewater conveyance system redesign),\nand a detailed design for the Anjar WWTP and the sewer network for the six localities was prepared. [41]\n\n\n101. The Italian Protocol will fund the construction of the Anjar WWTP, the sewage network for the\nseven localities, one main collector, and three pumping stations to convey all wastewater generated\nfrom the remaining ten localities. The estimated cost for this task is €28 [42] million including\nexpropriation [43] and two years of O&M.\n\n\n102. **The proposed project** intends to finance the construction of around 135 km of sewage network\nto connect the Anjar WWTP to the ten localities. They are **Bouerij, Chtaura, Mraijet, Jdita, Jlala,**\n**Makse,** part of **Taalabaye, Taanayet, Wadi Delem**, and **Zebdol,** and cover a population of about\n80,000 (see Table 2.3).

During 2010–2013, USAID financed the Small Village Wastewater Treatment Systems\nProgram which aimed at constructing small treatment facilities for domestic wastewater collected\nfrom communities in the northern Litani River basin. [44] Three treatment facilities were successfully\nconstructed: in Ablah, Ferzol, and Aitanit. They are currently in operation serving eight\nmunicipalities. [45] The Aitanit plant is designed to provide secondary treatment level and has a capacity\nof 5,000 m [3] per day [46] and is connected to four villages: **Baaloul, Qaraoun, Aitanit**, and **Machgara**\nwith a total population of 22,300. [47] The Aitanit WWTP is the closest to Qaraoun Lake and is located\n400 meters south of the Qaraoun Dam. However, it operates under capacity, at a flow of 500–700 m [3]\nper day. This component will finance the network expansion of the **Aitanit WWTP** in the four\nvillages. Several donors have expressed interest in providing parallel funding for the subcomponent,\nand if additional funding becomes available, the project will consult with the Government on what\nadditional connections could be financed.\n\n\n**Subcomponent 1.4: Design, supervision, environment and social consultancy services (IBRD**\n**US$2 million)**\n\n104.

The table does not report industrial crops as they are not part of this project.\n\n\n106. **Farmers’ behavior** . The upper Litani basin extends over an area of around 1.8 million du,\ncomprising the country’s most fertile lands. The area is cultivated with crops that have high demand\nfor agrochemicals (for example, potatoes, summer vegetables) and crops demanding less\nagrochemicals (for example, wheat, barley, vineyards). An agricultural survey [48] conducted among 37\nfarmers evaluated the impact of the on-farm practices on the quality of the Litani River and Qaraoun\nLake. It revealed that farmers tend to use high amounts of fertilizers with the aim of maximizing their\nbenefits. Specifically, more than 88 percent of potato farmers and about 28 percent of vegetable\nfarmers over-fertilized their lands, and over 36 percent of potato farmers apply nitrogen fertilizer rates\ntwice or more the recommended rates. Many of them also complained about the high cost of\nproduction but did not perceive that over-fertilization may be an important contributor to this cost.\n\n\n107. **This component will promote** the use of sustainable production systems among farmers in the\nupper Litani basin by introducing GAP, which includes: reduced fertilizer application, other\nconservation practices and selected IPM [49] measures such as reduced pesticide application. These\npractices are expected to provide increased quality of agricultural products (without reducing yields);\nfarmers’ savings (through decreased cost of production); and reduced pollution of the Litani River.\n\n108. **Target** . There are about 1,500 relatively large farms (> 40 du) in the Zahlé and West Beqaa\ndistricts. About 50 percent of them are cultivated with potatoes and vegetables. Thus, the project will\ntarget 750 farms. It is expected that at least 30 percent of them will adopt these practices by the end of\nthe project, which corresponds to **225 farmers** . In the targeted farms, the project will focus on\nreducing the use of fertilizers and pesticides, as described below.\n\n\n  - _**Reducing fertilizers**_ . The main agrochemical polluter of the river is nitrate, while potato is the\n\nmain crop being over fertilized. The recommended amount of nitrogen is 11.5 kg/du, while\nfarmers are currently using three times as much (about 31 kg/du). This component aims at\n**reducing this amount by 50 percent,** to about 15 kg/du. It will target 16,000 du,\ncorresponding to 25 percent of the total potato area in the West Beqaa and Zahlé districts.\nTherefore, the component will reduce the fertilizer use on potato areas by about **248 tons** (15.5\nkg/du * 16,000 du). [50]\n\n\n48 The survey was undertaken as part of the Litani Water Quality Management Project/ Litani Basin Advisory Services (BAMAS).\n49\nIPM means careful consideration of all available pest control techniques and subsequent integration of appropriate measures that discourage the\ndevelopment of pest population and keep pesticides and other interventions to levels that are economically justified and reduce or minimize risks to human\nhealth and the environment. IPM emphasizes the growth of healthy crops with the least possible disruption to the agro ecosystem and encourages natural\npest control mechanism (FAO Council, November 2002).\n50In addition, on vegetable areas, current problems of nitrate fertilization are related to timing rather than quantity applied. For example, applying too\nmuch fertilizer at the beginning can result in high leaching losses below the root zone. Therefore, on these areas, the component will guide farmers to the\n\n\n29\n\n\n",

The project will control the use of pesticides\non rational basis according to IPM tactics and practices on farm. This component aims to\n**reduce pesticides application by about 40-50 percent** of their current use in targeted crops\n(FAO 2015).\n\n109. **Activities** _._ IPM activities will be implemented through the FFS methodology, which is a\nproven methodology based on a participatory approach to train and empower farmers on the use of\nIPM techniques and on the proper handling and disposal of pesticides. Similar participatory approaches\nwill be used to train farmers on alternative methods and practices for sustainable fertilizer use in the\nproject area. Baseline surveys and regular farm visits will be conducted to monitor the use of\nagrochemicals by targeted farmers as well as the sales of these chemicals in the project area.\n\n110. **Steps** _._ The component is based on four steps:\n\n(a) Assessing current agricultural practices and developing GAP-IPM program. Review previous\n\nsurveys, undertake chemical analysis of soil and water, and identify essential practices to\naddress existing gaps (that is, activities, target farmers, and crops).\n(b) Train professionals and facilitators in GAP-IPM practices. Train field technical staff from\n\nMoA, other stakeholders, and facilitators on extension and FFS methods to promote the\npractices identified above.\n(c) Implement the GAP-IPM program at the farm.

The quantity of solid waste generated in villages/towns located in the Upper Litani catchment\nwas estimated at about 650 tons per day in 2011. Currently there is one sanitary landfill (constructed\nthrough the Bank-funded _Solid Waste Environment Management Project_ ) in **Zahlé** receiving about\n180 tons per day. A sanitary landfill is under construction in **Baalbeck** (with Italian financing) with a\ncapacity of 150 tons per day. A sorting facility with a capacity of 100 tons per day is also under\nconstruction in **Jeb Jennin** with funding from the municipality.The EU through the SWAM II [51]\nproject is likely to fund a landfill in Jeb Jennin. Recently the EU through the _Economic and Social_\n_Funding Development_ will fund the construction of a sorting and landfilling facility in **Barr Elias** .\nMore recently the union of municipalities is preparing a sorting facility in **Sehmor** (to serve the West\nBeqaa region). Once operational, these facilities will alleviate the amount of solid waste being\ndumped in uncontrolled dump sites and along the Litani River. Furthermore, the GoL is in discussion\nwith the EU to allocate further funding to solid waste management in areas affected by the Syrian\n\nmost appropriate timing of nitrate application, so as to reduce pollution and maintain yields (FAO. 2015.

It includes technical,\nenvironmental, and social studies undertaken for (a) establishing a sorting facility in Rachaya; and (b)\nclosure and rehabilitation of dump sites such as Temmin al Tahta, Qab Elias, Barr Elias, Hawch Al\nHarim, Al-Khyara, Jeb Jennine, Gazze, or Kayyal (based on the Master Plan for Closure and\nRehabilitation of Uncontrolled Dumps [2011]) as well as the recruitment of a solid waste expert (as\npart of the PMU) to be seconded to the MoE.\n\n\n_**Improvement in Water Quality Monitoring and Resources Modeling - LRA (US$0.7 million)**_\n\n\n114. The LRA has been assigned the secretariat responsibility of the Qaraoun Committee established\nto follow up on the _Roadmap for Combating Pollution in the Qaraoun Lake_ . To support the LRA in\nits secretariat role and building on the achievements of the USAID-funded Litani River Basin\nManagement Support Program, this component of the project focuses on (a) improving water quality\nmonitoring network and water resources modeling; and (b) raising awareness for the cleanup of the\nLitani River.\n\n\n115. **Improving water quality monitoring network** .The LRA has a sustained—albeit limited—\nmonthly monitoring of ten locations in the upper Litani basin for the following indicators: ammonia\n(NH3); chlorine (Cl); conductivity;dissolved oxygen (DO);nitrate (NO3);nitrite (NO2); pH;phosphate\n(PO43); sulfate (SO42); and total dissolved solids (TDS). The LRA then uses a simple Water Quality\nIndex (WQI), which presents the advantage of communicating water quality information in an\nunderstandable way for all stakeholders. The WQI summarizes a large amount of water quality data in\nscores reported as a total number between 1 and 100, with (a) 90–100 as excellent, (b) 75–90 as good,\n(c) 60–75 as fair, (d) 40–60 as marginal, and (e) 0–40 as poor. Under this component, the number of\nlocations will be increased to 20 and support will be mainly in the form of water quality measurement\nequipment, which could also expand the water quality indicator measured (such as BOD [52] ).\n\n\n116. **Improving water resources modeling** . Over time, the LRA will need to develop a systemwide modeling of the upper-catchment (hydrology, water quality, and so on), which will support\nmonitoring progress during the implementation of the MoE’s Business Plan for Combating Pollution\nin Qaraoun Lake. The LRA has already existing surface and groundwater flow models (such as HECRAS and Modflow) and these will be a good basis to expand to the wider upper catchment modeling.\nUnder this component, a water expert will be hired to support in assessing existing models, current,\nand projected water balance and integrate as possible current models to a wider upper catchment\nmodeling. The TOR of the water expert was discussed and is in advanced stage of preparation.\n\n\n117. **Raise awareness** . The LRA will continue to raise awareness about the need to clean up the\nLitani River by undertaking awareness and clean-up campaigns. It is important to involve all\nstakeholders in order to change the behavior of water users. The impact of awareness should be to the\nextent possible, monitored over time with a simple survey, at an agreed frequency, to assess the\nchange in level of knowledge and engagement of stakeholders who benefitted from the campaign.\nUnder this component, a communication expert and awareness and clean-up campaigns will be\nfunded. The TOR of the communication expert has been prepared.\n\n\n118. The estimated cost of this component is US$0.7 million.

The BWE is a public agency with the mandate to operate and maintain the water supply,\nwastewater, and irrigation in the Beqaa. Its capacity to conduct these activities needs to be developed,\nparticularly in the wastewater sector. The BWE’s Business Plan for 2013–2017 outlined the main\ndeficiencies and recommended actions to improve them. These recommendations focus on the need\nfor (a) a better organizational structure and management; (b) a human resources program that will\nprepare BWE staff to assume responsibility for wastewater network and treatment facilities; (c)\nimproved collection efficiency; (d) documentation of customers, including the reduction of\nunregistered and illegal users; (e) extension and improvement of service levels to the unserved\npopulation; (f) introduction of household water metering and consumption-based tariff that takes into\naccount cost of O&M; (g) set-up of utility management standards and monitoring performance in line\nwith the National Water Sector Strategy; and (h) achievement of financial sustainability. The BWE\nneeds to raise its capacity at several levels, as outlined in the following paragraphs.\n\n\n120. **Governance** _**.**_ The BWE has limited ability to enforce rules and regulations while conducting its\nactivities, primarily making users pay their bills and stopping illegal users of water. This problem is\nclosely related to the country context of political uncertainty, security incidents, and refugee situation.\n\n\n121. **Organizational structure** . The BWE has submitted a proposal for a new organizational chart\nto the MoEW. It includes the creation of a new Wastewater Unit to be in charge of the newly\nexpanding wastewater sector in the Beqaa region, in accordance with the Water Law. The MoEW has\nyet to submit the proposal to the supervising authorities in the Government (Council of Ministers,\nCivil Service Authority, and so on) to issue a presidential decree, which would make the\norganizational chart effective. After the decree is issued, the BWE will be able to allocate budget and\nhire staff for the wastewater activity.\n\n\n122. **Staffing** . The BWE suffers from shortage of staff, especially in higher-level positions such as\nengineers and FOs. The water bylaws issued in 2005 require filling 18 engineer positions in the\nwastewater sector. However, only two engineers were hired during the last eight years. The BWE’s\ndifficulties in attracting highly qualified professionals are mainly a result of low salaries provided\nwithin the Government’s compensation scheme. Outsourcing to the private sector has been so far the\nsolution to respond to the BWE’s basic needs. While this is a good practice, having a minimum\nnumber of qualified staff would increase the BWE’s technical and operational skills to supervise\nconsultants and contractors.\n\n\n123. **Customer relations/collection rate** . In the past, governance issues and insufficient human and\nfinancial resources made relations with customers difficult. Additional effort is required to actively\nengage with customers in a more efficient and transparent way by continuing training and campaigns\nto raise awareness. This would help raise subscriptions, avoid illegal connections, improve collection\nof fees/tariffs, and encourage good practices such as metering and rationalizing water consumption\nuse.Given the critical role that collection plays; BWE has prepared a new proposal to its Board to\nrevisit the issue of how to reinforce the collection effort. The **new proposal** focuses on: undertaking a\nnew customer survey, outreach to political and municipal authorities that interact directly with people\nexplaining the necessity to pay for water consumed, payment modalities and legal implications and\n\n\n32\n\n\n",

The BWE’s weak administration and financial management\norganization led to poor financial performance in the past, as described in Annex 4. However, recent\nefforts have significantly improved collection, especially in the past three years. In addition, the BWE\nhas been working on the financial module with various donors over time including recent assistance\nby USAID.\n\n\n125. **To increase BWE’s capacity, the proposed project will finance** the recruitment of three\nhigh-level staff: a wastewater engineer, an administrator/customer relation officer, and a Finance\nOfficer (FO). They will train and accompany the BWE’s counterpart staff during the implementation\nphase:\n\n(a) The wastewater engineer will assist the BWE in the tendering process and supervising the O&M\n\nof its wastewater facilities in a professional manner. S/he will prepare the TOR for the O&M\ncontract, assist in tendering, and particularly focus on following up with the service contract of\nthe O&M carried out by the private sector and make sure that wastewater is properly collected\nand treated according to acceptable standards. S/he will participate in all technical matters related\nto networks, pumping stations, quantity and quality of effluent and sludge, and procurement of\ngoods and services.\n\n(b) The administrator/customer relation officer will assist in organizing human resources and\n\ncustomer relations functions, that is, identifying all customers, having a reliable data base,\nfollowing up on billing and collection, and developing outreach activities aimed at improving fee\ncollection in the areas with poor performance.\n\n(c) The FO will assist in preparing the BWE financial statements according to international\n\nstandards. S/he will also prepare budgets and follow up with all stakeholders (the MoEW, MOF,\ndonors, CDR) on financial and tariff issues and government subsidies.\n\n\n126. While the CDR will be the implementing agency for the proposed project, it will work closely\nwith the BWE throughout the construction phase.This will allow the BWE to operate and maintain the\nfacilities that are handed over by the CDR at completion.

As described in the Implementation Arrangement section, a PMU will be established at the\nCDR. The PMU will consist of a full-time Project Manager and a Procurement Specialist (part or full\ntime as needed based on work loard at any given time). The CDR currently has the capacity to\nundertake the FM responsibility of the project. Should it become necessary, the CDR will consider\nrecruiting a part-time FM specialist. In addition, it will hire a part-time environmental/social\nconsultant. As described above, technical specialists will be recruited as part of the PMU, but will be\nseconded to the respective line ministries/agencies.\n\n\n33\n\n\n",

Therefore, the project, by its very\nnature, is a public good and will result in significant environmental improvements and long-term\npublic health benefits. However, some impacts on the environment are expected especially for the\nactivities under Component 1 as expansion of sewage networks involves civil work. Therefore, this\nproject triggers OP4.01 - Environmental Assessment and is categorized as Category B.\n\n\n156. The connection to the Zahlé WWTP (subcomponent 1.1) has been confirmed and detailed\ndesign has been prepared. Accordingly, the site-specific EIA/EMP has been prepared. For\nsubcomponents 1.2 and 1.3, the details (for example, connection routes, number of households to be\nconnected, and so on) are not known and will depend on the detailed design to be conducted during\nproject implementation. Therefore, an ESMF was prepared before appraisal. Site-specific EIA/EMP\nfor subcomponents 1.2 and 1.3 will be prepared before construction starts. The ESMF and EIA/EMP\nfor the Zahlé WWTP have been prepared by the client, cleared by the Bank and disclosed in country\nof February 11, 2015 and at the InfoShop on February 12, 2015. Consultation with government\nstakeholders as well as public stakeholders was held on September 13, 2014, and the questions and\nconcerns raised were incorporated in the final documents.\n\n\n157. Although this project will not finance the construction of the WWTPs, a post-environmental\nassessment has been undertaken for the Zahlé WWTP, which is under construction, as a first step to\nassess the feasibility of expanding the sewage network around these plants. The study confirmed that\nthe design of the WWTP is appropriate and the new plant will have enough capacity 37,000 m [3] per\nday (which can be expanded to 56,000 m [3] per day horizon 2040) to treat the expected sewage. The\nstudy also identified that generated sludge could shorten the life of the existing cell of the Zahlé\nlandfill site. Therefore, the study recommended measures such as composting or the installation of a\nsludge digestion system to reduce the amount of sludge to be disposed.\n\n\n158. The Aitani WWTP is an existing WWTP. Therefore, an environmental audit was conducted to\nverify its compliance with design criteria and national regulations, assess its operation status and\ntreatment efficiency, and identify measures to fill the gaps, if any. The audit report has been reviewed\n\n\n40\n\n\n",

The PMU is responsible for ensuring compliance with the safeguards policies and monitoring\nand reporting the implementation of safeguards documents such as the ESMF and EIA/EMP. The\nPMU will make sure that the EMP is part of the contract by inserting the necessary clauses in the\ncontract and ensure that the contractor follows the EMP. A part-time environmental specialist could\nbe hired as needed to provide support to the PMU to fulfill its responsibility.\n\n\n**Box 2. Grievance Redress Mechanism:** The project will include multi-level arrangements for registering and\naddressing grievances and complaints from project-affected people. The primary purpose of the project grievance\nredress mechanism is to provide clear and accountable means for affected persons to raise complaints and seek\nremedies when they believe they have been harmed by the project. An effective and responsive grievance redress\nmechanism also facilitates project progress, by reducing the risks that unaddressed complaints eventually lead to\nconstruction delays, lengthy court procedures, or adverse public attention. The process and procedures of grievance\nredress are as follows:\n\n  - The affected person should file his/her grievance in writing, to the concerned Municipalities.\n\n  - The grievance note should be signed and dated by the aggrieved person.\n\n  - Within a period of 14 days, meetings and discussions should be held with the PAP, and a response should be\n\ngiven by the end of this period.\n\n  - If the aggrieved person does not receive a response within the specified period or is dissatisfied with the\n\noutcome, he/she lodges his or her grievance to CDR Expropriation Unit.\n\n  - The CDR Expropriation Unit will then attempt to resolve the problem (through dialogue and negotiation)\n\nwithin 14 days of the complaint being lodged.\n\n  - Grievances that cannot be solved by the CDR Expropriation Unit must be submitted to the Appeals Committee\n\nby either the CDR or the affected person Expropriating Agency or concerned municipality or the individual\nright holder.\n\n  - The decisions of the Expropriation Commission may be appealed to the Appeals Committee by either the CDR\n\nor the property owner. Appeals Committee may keep the same level of compensation or increase it, and must\nmake a decision within three months of the lodging of the appeal. However the decision is obligatory and final.\n\n  - The appellant must be represented by a lawyer. The appeals fee is about $125 (including stamp and insurance\n\nfees to initiate the appeal) plus 3.5% of the increased compensation amount demanded in the appeals case.\n\n  - The owner is required to evacuate the property, with rights of sale but not of development, and with access to\n\n75 percent of the compensation. Until the Appeals Committee reaches its final decision these funds should be\nset aside in a special escrow account.\n\n  - If no agreement is reached at this stage, then the complaint can be referred to the Courts of Law according to\n\nLebanese Law.\n\n\n41\n\n\n",

The BWE is a public agency with the mandate to manage the water resources of the Beqaa\ngeographic area. It operates by establishing sources of water, distributing and connecting new\nsubscribers, maintaining the network, and collecting fees. The MoEW has an oversight role defining\npolicy, strategic planning, and regulatory functions. Water Law 221 of year 2000 consolidated the\nnumber of water authorities from 21 to 4 water establishments: Beirut/Mount Lebanon, the North, the\nSouth, and the Beqaa. The BWE covers the largest geographic area (about 45 percent of Lebanon).\nLaw 221 was put into effect in 2005, but water establishments have not yet filled all the vacancies\nidentified during the merger.The BWE still has to fill about 400 vacant positions. The BWE has\nlimited financial resources to hire qualified professionals and the Government has put a freeze on\nhiring new staff for public organizations.\n\n\n161. The four water establishments have a Board of Directors appointed by the Government. The\nestablishments have in fact limited autonomy in terms of procurement, staffing, and finance. Each\nestablishment applies an annual fee for water supply based on 1 m [3 ] consumption per connection. It\nbills bulk water consumers (1 percent of consumers) per m [3] based on meters. Irrigation water is paid\non an hourly basis. A new yearly fee for wastewater was introduced in 2013. The BWE current water\nand wastewater fees are as follows:\n\n   - Water supply: LBP 220,000/m [3] /year (US$146)\n\n   - Wastewater: LBP 20,000/year (US$13) if connected to a WWTP or LBP 10,000/year (US$6.5)\nif connected to sewage network only\n\n   - Irrigation: LBP 5,000/hour (US$3.3)\n\n\n162. The ongoing wastewater sector program is very ambitious and costly, while water\nestablishments still have limited financial and technical capacity to operate and maintain the built\ninfrastructure. The MoEW finances capital investments of treatment plants, which after completion\nare handed over to water establishments for O&M.\n\n\n163. Based on Law 221, water establishments are supposed to prepare financial statements\naccording to corporate accounting principles and auditing standards in line with international\npractices. This has not yet taken place. Accounts of water establishments continue to be prepared on\ncash basis. No proper balance sheets or income statements are available. The BWE has benefited from\ntechnical assistance from GIZ, the EU, and USAID to develop an integrated information system\n(ERP) with several modules including financial and accounting systems as well as recording all the\nestablishment assets. BWE has already carried out an important task of asset inventory and evaluation\nwith a fixed asset register showing details of: location of the asset, date of purchase, cost, repair\ninformation, depreciation, etc. This work will allow a follow-up of O&M of each asset, its useful life\nand when is the time for its replacement. It will also be used to calculate depreciation charge for\nBWE financial accounts. The assets issue is a complicated task and has caused some delay in\nfinalyzing the financial and accounting module and the ERP program in general. Current financial\ninformation is focused on recording bills and collection and keeping track, with some disbursement of\nexpenses. Table 4.1 shows the revenues and expenses for the period 2008–2014 (estimates). The\naccounts are usually approved by the MoF and the BWE’s board. The MoF has not approved the\n\n\n42\n\n\n",

The past financial performance covers years 2008–2013 and 2014 (estimates). It is based on\nunaudited financial statements prepared on cash basis and consists of collection of bills and\ndisbursement of different operational expenses. No receivables, payables, fixed assets, and other\nassets or liabilities are recorded in the financial statements presented to the Government.\nConsequently, no provision for doubtful accounts or depreciation of fixed assets is included. This\ngives a limited picture of the BWE financial situation. Nevertheless, the project team undertook a\nfinancial analysis based on all available data and information.\n\n\n165. **BWE revenues** _._ Water collection rate has increased substantially over the years but remains\nbelow standards. As shown in the BWE records, the collection rate of water fees has increased from\n17.5 percent in 2009 to about **35 percent in 2013** . No increase was noticed in year 2014, however\ngiven the critical role that bill collection plays BWE is submitting a new proposal to its Board to\nreactivate the collection issue. New subscriptions and the outreach campaign during the previous\nBank-funded project with the assistance of other donors have contributed to improvement in the BWE\nrevenue collection by about 100 percent from 2009 to 2013. Efforts made during the last three years\nhave had positive impact on BWE finances. BWE is now able to pay regularly its staff and part of its\n\nelectricity bills. BWE cash on hand at August 2014 was equivalent to approximately 1.5 year ’ s worth\nof staff salaries and benefits, a significant progress under difficult circumstances. However, many\nissues remain with a large number of households connected to the water system, but not paying bills\nand those illegally connected (estimated between 30 to 50 percent). To compensate for cash shortfall,\nthe BWE also receives grants from the MoEW mainly earmarked for capital expenditures and for\nO&M service contracts.54A list of receivables from customers for previous years amounts to about\nUS$100 million in arrears. Some of these assets go back to 1992 and some of them may not be\ncollectible and need to be written off.\n\n166. **On the expense side**, the situation is more complex. As mentioned above, the records are based\non the cash accounting system, which does not show the entire picture of the BWE’s expenditures.\nHence, electricity consumption, part of the personnel payroll arrears, the social security debt as well as\ndepreciation allowances for capital assets are not fully reflected in the accounts. Operating expenses\nare relatively modest, represented mainly by personnel (38 percent); electricity expenses (40 percent);\nand O&M service contract (22 percent). Neither depreciation charge for fixed assets nor any provision\nfor doubtful accounts is set aside.\n\n\n167. **Cost recovery** . Efforts made during the last three years to increase revenues have made\npositive impact on the BWE’s finances. The BWE is now able to regularly pay its staff and part of its\nelectricity bills. Available data on revenues and expenses show that the BWE cost recovery for its\noperating expenses has increased from 31 percent in 2008 to nearly 50 percent in 2013; this is a\nnotable improvement in line with international standards.\n\n\n54Grants received from the MoEW ares LBP 13.7 billion in 2011 and 2012 (US$9.2 million); LBP 4.8 billion in 2013 (US$3.2 million);\nand LBP 12.8 billion in 2014 (US$8.5 million).\n\n\n43\n\n\n",

Projections to assess the BWE financial performance (2014–2022) are based on two main\nscenarios. The first scenario is based on a conservative revenue projection with an annual increase of\nonly 1 percent in fees and 1 percent in collection rate for the projected period. The second scenario\naims at a more aggressive collection rate of 2.5 percent a year for the same period. The result is total\nrevenue of LBP 26.5 billion for scenario 1 in year 2022 while scenario 2 reaches about LBP 35 billion\nfor the same period. In both scenarios, 2013 is considered as the baseline.\n\n\n169. Based on the above assumptions, financial projections have been prepared until 2022. [55] This\nanalysis is limited by the lack of audited financial statements prepared in the past. Given the fact that\nthere is no accrual accounting and no fixed assets register to calculate O&M and depreciation charges\nmore accurately, estimates used are based on available data provided by the MoEW and BWE as well\nas data provided through donor-funded technical assistance programs.\n\n\n170. In summary, for both scenarios, cost recovery of O&M would reach about 90 percent\n(excluding depreciation) in 2022 and collection rates for current year billing would reach 56 percent\nfor scenario 1 and 81 percent for scenario 2 by 2022. The different assumptions of financial scenarios\nhave been discussed with the BWE. Details on financial projections and assumptions are provided in\nthe project files.\n\n\n**Conclusion**\n\n171. The BWE revenues are currently covering about 50 percent of O&M (without depreciation).\nGiven the specific nature of the wastewater sector, this level of cost recovery could be considered\nacceptable. However, the wastewater sector in Lebanon is rapidly expanding with large investments\nfinanced by several donors. These investments will require considerable effort from both the BWE\nand the Government. Costs will increase substantially once all ongoing infrastructures are operational.\n\n\n55Financial projections are available in Excel in the project files.\n\n\n44\n\n\n",

The levels of\ntariffs should, therefore, be such that users are encouraged not to waste these resources and to consume quantities\nthat are commensurate with cost.Therefore, there are **three main** objectives that need to be taken into account\nwhen designing a tariff policy for water sanitation; efficiency, equity and cost recovery:\n\n_**The first objective is the efficiency incentive**_ that requires pricing water at its long-run marginal cost (LRMC),\ni.e., at the additional cost required to increase water supply, including capital cost. Under this pricing scheme, no\none will use any volume of water if it does not procure him a benefit that is at least as equal as the supply cost.\n\n_**The second objective is equity**_ . A unique tariff applied to all households and users may result in an excessive\nburden of the water and sanitation bill for low-income households. Theoretically, the latter’s consumption can be\nsubsidized through appropriate schemes. In Chile, for instance, low-income households, which are identified at\nthe municipal level, receive subsidies proportionately to their water bill up to a certain volume and pay the full\nunique tariff for any consumption above that volume. Ideally, this is a first best policy to deal with both\nobjectives. However, its efficient implementation requires a strong institutional capacity that is lacking in\nLebanon and most developing countries.\n\n_**The third objective is cost recovery**_ . With tight budget constraints for the public sector, the provision of public\nutilities such as water and sanitation can be sustainable only if costs are recovered, at least in their operating and\nmaintenance components. Otherwise, new facilities would easily fall in neglect and be quickly run down, leading\nto the recurrence of problems that have become all too familiar under the existing system.\n\n**The Existing Tariff System**\nBEW has been applying a flat fee equal to about US$146 for the delivery of 1m [3] per day to each subscriber.\nHowever, the existing system in some cases supplies water intermittently and may deliver less than the promised\nquantity. With the completion of investments under the Baalbeck projects, it is expected that water will be\navailable on a continuous basis.\n\nThe current system does help achieve the objective of efficiency described above since the water bill is\nindependent of the quantity used. It also does not acehive equity since households are charged the same bill\nregardless of their income and their ability to pay.\n\n**The Recommended Tariff Policy and Structure**\n\nIn view of these general objectives and the weaknesses of the existing system, the following guidelines are\nproposed:\n\n\n   - Revenues should cover 90 percent of all O&M costs for water and wastewater by the year 2022. Capital\ncost (depreciation) should be gradually added thereafter for water supply, whereas capital cost for\nwastewater will continue to be mostly borne by national budget.\n\n   - Alternative options may be envisaged for the tariff structure: a volumetric linear tariff, a bloc-tariff\nstructure, etc. Ideally, users should be charged the same efficiency price, which is the long-run marginal\ncost and low-income households should be subsidized up to a certain volume of water consumption.\nHowever, in the absence of an efficient and fair subsidy scheme, a progressive block tariff scheme, which\nis recommended, would address the equity concern while helping to minimize inefficient use of water.\n\n   - Billing should be done jointly for both water and sanitation on the basis of the quantity of fresh water\nused, which is the practice found in most countries.\n\n   - Bills should consist of two components, a fixed component and a variable one that will depend on the\nquantity of water used. The fixed component should not be too high as not to penalize low-income users\nand offset the distribution effect of the increasing block tariff structure.\n\n\n45\n\n\n",

The objectives of the project are to reduce the quantity of untreated municipal sewage\ndischarged into the Litani River and to improve pollution management around Qararoun Lake. Table\n5.1 shows the project’s components with the allocated budget for each. The analysis makes reference\nto the total project cost (US$60 million), including Bank loan (US$55 million) and GOL contribution\n(US$5 million, in Component 1). The CBA is conducted for Components 1 and 2 and then extended\ninto an aggregated CBA for the entire project.

Water pollution is an externality caused by market\nfailure as there is no penalty for actions polluting water [58] . Component 1 aims at remedying market\nfailures. Without an intervention, these market failures would continue to generate negative\nexternalities to the environment and to the population living nearby (for example, reduced recreational\nand aesthetic value in and around polluted areas). Given the high investment costs associated with\nsewerage provision, it would be prohibitive, particularly for low-income households, to finance such\nlarge investments via tariffs. As such, public subsidies are needed in order to ensure adequate\ncollection of untreated wastewater.\n\n\n176. **Bank value added** _._ Through the proposed component, the Bank is uniquely positioned to\n\n\n56 The lifetime of sewerage network constructed by Component 1.\n57 Based on the CDR. 2014.

Examples\ninclude the Baalbeck Water and Wastewater Project (P074042); the West Beqaa Emergency Water\nSupply Project (P103885); and the Solid Waste/Environmental Management project (P005345). In\naddition, the Bank brings deep national and international sector insight and experience to efficiently\nsupport the MoEW, the CDR, the BWE and other partners in improving service delivery and in\nstrengthening capacity needed to improve institutional coordination and accountability.\n\n\n177. **Impact of the project** . In the project rural areas, sewerage coverage remains relatively low due\nto insufficient network and poor quality (for example, leaking due to lack of maintenance). Without\nthe project, there will be no improvement in sewerage coverage and the number of people not\nconnected will gradually increase as the population grows. This means that over time, more sewage\nwill be dumped in the Litani River and its tributaries. This component is expected to substantially\nincrease the access to sanitation (sewerage coverage) in the affected areas, thus reducing the pollution\nof the Litani River.\n\n\n178. **Cost-benefit analysis** . A CBA was conducted to expand the sewerage network and house\nconnections in the project area. Because the major benefit (increased aesthetic and recreational value\ndue to a cleaner environment) is a cumulative result of the three investments (i.e. subcomponents 1.1,\n1.2 and 1.3), one single analysis is presented for all of them.\n\n\n179. **Costs** _**.**_ The costs include capital costs and O&M costs. For the sewerage connection to the\nZahlé and Aitanit WWTPs, it is assumed that capital costs (that is, building the network and house\nconnections) are equally divided among the first three years of the project. For Anjar, the capital costs\n\n - covering Bank loan (US$19 million) and GOL contribution (US$5 million) will occur during the last\nyears of the project as the WWTP itself is expected to be built later. O&M costs represent 1.5\npercent [59] of the capital costs for all three investments. As a result, the present value (PV) of costs is\nestimated at **US$43 million** .\n\n\n180. **Benefits.** Improved sewerage network is expected to provide a cleaner environment, thus\nincreasing the aesthetic and recreational value in the areas located near the Litani River and its\ntributaries. In addition, improved sanitation is likely to reduce the incidence of water-borne diseases\n(e.g. diarrhea)that is currently occurring in the project area. The paragraphs below describe the\nestimation of these benefits.\n\n\n181. **Increase in the aesthetic and recreational value** . Expanding the sewerage network is\nexpected to increase the aesthetic and recreational value along the Litani River and its tributaries\nwhere sewage is currently discharged untreated. Based on available maps of the upper Litani basin,\nfour areas likely to be affected by this component are identified: Zahlé-Berdanni (by\nsubcomponent1.1); Anjar-Gzaiel (by subcomponent1.2); Shtoura (by subcomponent 1.3); and a strip\nof land along the Litani River (by subcomponents 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3). Communication with local experts\nsuggested that the surface affected by the increase in property value in each of these areas would have\na width of 200 m along each side of the Litani tributaries and a width of 100 m along each side of the\nLitani River. Accordingly, the surface likely to benefit from an increase in property value is\nestimatedat 26.6 km [2] (see table 5.2 for each area’s details).\n\n\n182. Estimating changes in aesthetic and recreational value is often based on the hedonic price\n\n\n59 This is a conservative estimate. The detailed design for Al Marj assumes that O&M costs are only 1 percent of capital costs. See the CDR. 2010.\nDetailed design, preparation of tender documents, and assistance during tendering for the Anjar/Majdal Anjar (Al Marj) WWTP, 6–13.\n\n\n47\n\n\n",

The method is commonly used to estimate the value of environmental attributes (landscape\nquality, air pollution, water pollution, noise) that affect the price of properties. This analysis estimates\nthe expected increase in aesthetic and recreational value through the difference in land price in areas\nnot served by sewage network compared to similar areas where sewage network exist. This approach\nhas been used in other Bank funded projects (e.g. the _Brazil’s Espírito Santo Integrated Sustainable_\n_Water Management Project_ ).Thus, the team conducted interviews with mayors, requesting\ninformation on (a) the average **current** price of land along the Litani River and its tributaries in each\nof the four areas and (b) the **observed** increase in property prices in areas served by the sewerage\nnetwork, compared to similar areas not served by such facilities. The responses indicated an increase\nof six percent of land price for Zahlé-Berdanni and 25 percent in each of the remaining areas. This\nanalysis conservatively assumes that Component 1 will increase aesthetic and recreational value by\nonly 50 percent of the above figures [60] .

Improved sanitation can result in a reduction of diarrheal\ndiseases, which would otherwise occur due to environmental hazards. In Lebanon, diarrheal mortality\ndue to unsafe sanitation is negligible. [62] However, diarrheal morbidity among children aged below five\nyears is estimated at 2,300 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) at national level. [63] Only two percent\nof them are attributable to unsafe sanitation, which corresponds to 46 DALYs. [64]\n\n\n184. It is assumed that in the project area, the number of diarrheal cases due to unsafe sanitation is\nproportional with the ratio of population served by this component (351,700 people) and that at the\nnational level (4.5 million people), or eight percent. Accordingly, diarrhea morbidity in children aged\nbelow five years due to unsafe sanitation is estimated at only 4 DALYs, or 34 episodes, [65] if the project\nis not implemented. Considering that the implementation of Component 1 will result in avoidance of\nthese cases, the health benefit of this component is estimated at:\n\n60 This means a land price increase of 3% for Zahle Berdanni and 13% of the other three areas. These proportions are in line with several other studies. For\nexample the value of property located near St. Albans Bay declined by as much as 20% due to pollution problems in the river (Young 1984, cited in Boyle\nand Kiel, 2001)\n\n61 The estimation of the PV assumes that the annual benefit from Anjar Majdal (subcomponent1.2) occurs during years 7–25, while the annual benefits\nfrom connections to the Zahlé (subcomponent1.1) and Aitanit WWTPs (subcomponent1.3) occur during years 4–25.

This component will promote the use of sustainable production systems\namong farmers in the Upper Litani basin, by introducing GAP, including selected IPM. These\npractices are expected to provide three major benefits: (a) increased quality of agricultural products\n(without reducing yields); (b) farmers’ savings (through decreased cost of production); and (c)\nreduced pollution of the Litani River.\n\n\n191. **Cost-benefit analysis** . A CBA will be conducted on introducing sustainable crop practices that\nreduce application of fertilizers and pesticides. The component targets about 750 large farmers in the\nWest Beqaa and Zahlé districts. It will introduce GAP-IPM practices on 16,000 du of potato farms\nand 4,000 ha of vegetable farms. Table 5.4 presents the component’s costs and benefits.\n\n\n192. _Costs_ **.** The cost is spread over four years and includes surveys, equipment, and personnel to\ntrain farmers. The PV of costs over 25 years is estimated at **US$1.2 million** .\n\n\n193. _Benefits_ . The analysis monetarily quantifies only the savings to farmers in terms of reduced\ncost of production. For **potato growers**, the current cost of fertilizer is US$200/du and that of\npesticides is US$50/du. Reducing application of fertilizer by 50 percent and of pesticides by 25\npercent leads to savings of US$112/du. On an area of 16,000 du, this means a benefit of US$1.8\nmillion (i).\n\n\n194. For **vegetable growers**, the component aims only at reducing application of pesticides by 25\npercent. Considering that pesticides cost is US$35/du and that vegetable (lettuce) cultivation is 4,000\nha, the savings on these areas are estimated at US$35,000 (ii). Adding up (i) and (ii), the total savings\nis estimated at US$1.84 million per year. If we assume that only 30 percent of trained farmers will\ncontinue to use the suggested practices in the future, total farmers’ savings would be US$552,000 per\nyear (in the fourth year and after). The PV of costs over 25 years is estimated at **US$4.9 million** .\n\n\n195. **Internal Rate of Return** . Based on the above estimates, Component 2 is socially profitable,\nwith an NPV of US$2.5 million and an **IRR of30 percent** (Table 5.4).\n\n\n50\n\n\n",

The strategy for implementation support (IS) reflects the nature of the Project and its risk\nprofile and aims to enhance the quality of the client’s delivery of proposed project interventions. As\nsuch, the implementation support focuses on risks identified throughout the project, as well as the\ntraditional supervision focus areas, including safeguards and fiduciary aspects.\n\n200. Formal implementation support and field visits will be carried out semi-annually and will focus\non:\n\n\na) **Technical inputs.** Technical inputs are required to review bid documents to ensure fair\ncompetition through proper technical specifications and fair assessment of the technical aspects\nof bids. During construction and commissioning, technical field visits will be conducted twice\nper year to ensure that the sewage network is built or rehabilitated according to the applicable\ninternational standards and that the contractual obligations are met.\n\nb) **Fiduciary inputs** . The Bank’s financial management specialist and procurement specialist –\nboth located in Lebanon - will provide support to the PMU’s fiduciary staff before the start of\nproject implementation. Supervision of financial management arrangements will be carried out\nsemi-annually as part of the project implementation support plan; support will be provided on a\ntimely basis, to respond to client needs. Procurement supervision will be carried out on a timely\nbasis as required by the client.\n\nc) **Safeguards** . The environmental specialist will provide guidance to relevant counterpart\nstaff. In addition, the team will make sure to include environmental implementation support\nupdates in regular project progress reports. Field visits will be made as required, to respond to\nsocial and/or environmental issues that may arise.\n\nd) **Client Relations** : The Task Team Leader will provide day-to-day implementation support of\nall operational aspects, as well as coordination with the client and among team members. The\nmembers of the team based in Lebanon will facilitate the linkage with the client in between\nformal missions.\n\ne) **Mid-Term Review.** A mid-term review will be carried out in the third year of project\nimplementation in which a comprehensive review of the project implementation experience\nwill be undertaken and adjustments made to improve the project’s design and/or execution, if\nneeded.\n\n\n53\n\n\n",
