Lebanon Hill Lakes Project: Water Resource Development
The Lebanon Hill Lakes Project supports sustainable water management across multiple rural communities. The program includes the design and development of hill lakes in Chouaiya, Kfar Qouq, Ainata, Kfarchouba, Majdel Selm, Bqaa Safrin, Beit Leef, Chebaa, Barka, and Zrazir to enhance irrigation and storage capacity.
K&A delivered comprehensive studies and full engineering design using Geotechnical Engineering, Socioeconomic Assessments, Feasibility Study, Design, and Construction Supervision services.
Scope of the Lebanon Hill Lakes Project
The Lebanon Hill Lakes Project aims to provide reliable irrigation sources by constructing lakes with capacities ranging from 15,000 m³ to 115,000 m³. The European Bank funded some lakes while the Lebanese Government supported others.
Moreover, each lake is supplied by local watersheds or natural springs. Design activities covered surveys, earthworks, lining, spillways, stilling basins, water piping systems, and supporting structures.
Designing Multiple Hill Lakes Across Mountainous Terrain
Our experts addressed geotechnical and environmental complexity as the project required field surveys and geotechnical investigations across remote and varied sites. Each location had distinct geological, hydrological, and environmental characteristics that guided design decisions.
Ensuring Functional, Efficient, and Sustainable Water Storage
Design work also included water budgeting, environmental assessment, material selection, and hydraulic features. These elements ensured each lake could safely store water, reduce losses, and support long-term agricultural use.
Technical Delivery for the Lebanon Hill Lakes Project
Furthermore, K&A conducted geotechnical engineering, hydrological analysis, socioeconomic studies, and feasibility assessments. These steps established the viability, storage potential, and environmental impact of each site.
Comprehensive Engineering and Construction Supervision
The team completed the Design, prepared tender documents, and supervised construction to ensure that the lake structures were stable, functional, and aligned with safety standards. GIS tools supported site analysis and decision-making.
Strengthening Irrigation and Agricultural Resilience
The completed lakes support rural communities by providing sustainable water infrastructure, improving irrigation reliability, strengthening agricultural output, and enhancing water availability for surrounding communities. The program provides scalable design solutions that can support future water resource projects across Lebanon. The project contributes to long-term environmental stewardship and strengthens rural resilience through efficient water storage systems.
