1 Snow cover dynamics and snow hydrology of the Lebanese Mountain Chains Using an integrated remote sensing and hydrologic modeling approach Impact of snow melt on the hydrologic and water resources systems, Lebanon Abbas Fayad Centre d'etudes Spatiales de la Biosphère (CESBIO/IRD, UPS), Toulouse, France National Council for Scientific Research National Center for Remote Sensing, Lebanon
2 Content Current state of the water resources in Lebanon Hydrological water budget Mount Lebanon & Anti Lebanon Importance of snow cover in Lebanon Interaction between climate, hydrology, snow, and water systems Knowledge on climate and its implications on hydrology, snow, and water resources Research objectives and methodology

4 Current state of the water resources in Lebanon Water scarcity is believed to be one of the main problems currently facing the country Limited water sources Increased water demands by all sectors Inefficiencies in water supply systems and in water use Increasing pollution of water resources (contributing to water scarcity) Associated to human and agricultural activities and industrial processes More work is needed to link the hydrologic processes to water resources management.

6 Hydrological water budget Mount & Anti Lebanon Lebanon Mount Lebanon Anti Lebanon Area (km2) Karstification 65% ~75% ~85% Precipitation (mm/year) (avg. 840) (avg. 1220) (avg. 620) Snow contribution % Evapotranspiration 40-55% 40-50% 45-60% Surfacewater % 5-15% <5% Groundwater % 27.5% 32.5% Recharge 42.5% 45% Percolation to groundwater and flow into the sea 5-9% Surface water loss- neighboring countries 6-7.5% Underground water loss -neighboring countries 2-3.5% Includes groundwater seepage in Lebanon and groundwater losses to the sea and neighboring countries. Excludes water flow to the sea. Average ( ) Source: this study based on preliminary assessment (US DOI, 1954; UNDP 1970, 2014; Mallat 1982; Comair, 2005; MOEW, 2010; MED-EUWI, 2012)
7 Importance of snow cover in Lebanon Snow contributes to the definition of the hydrologic system of most River Basins in Lebanon. Despite its importance, little is known about the snowpack dynamics. In fact, it is estimated that between 30 to 40% of the annual precipitation over Lebanon falls as snow (Shaban et al., 2004; Aouad-Rizk et al., 2005). A recent study demonstrated that snow cover contributes to the hydrological budget ranges between 1700 and 2800 MCM/Year (average 2400 MCM/Year) (Mhawej et al., 2014)
