Dr. Salim Sarraf

I focus on the main solution which consists in collecting the winter and rain water in dams or lakes in order to use it in periods of shortage. The proposed dams are the following: 

• Summakieh dam  - capacity: 20 million m³
• Multaka al nahrein dam  -  capacity: 60 million m³
• Maaser El Shouf dam  -  capacity: 2 million m³
• Several mountain lakes
