Umweltaspekte

The project will generally benefit the environment and public health by providing sanitation to a population of around one million inhabitants (a quarter of the Lebanese population), and by collecting and treating waste water before discharging it into the Mediterranean Sea. It will therefore reduce pollution of beaches and coastal waters within the Al Ghadir drainage area south of Beirut as well as of the Mediterranean Sea. An environmental and social impact assessment has been approved by the competent authority, the Ministry of Environment. The Bank will review during appraisal its compliance with the Bank's environmental and social safeguards and applicable national and international standards.

Auftragsvergabe
