Abstract:
The study consists of undertaking a monitoring campaign on poorly investigated springs in the area of Kfarzebbiane in Mount Lebanon to quantify flow at a high resolution and the currently available quantities for supply for decision-makers. Besides, it includes geological reconnaissance, mapping, as well as tracer experiments to allow the characterization of the catchment area of the investigated springs for a better understanding of the system in terms of flow preferential paths, velocities of transport in case of
contamination, and delineation of contribution zones. The processing of collected high-resolution data and mapping outcomes aims at a better conceptualization of the system and the expected quantities. The latter can be implemented in advanced vulnerability and protection maps and the evaluation of spring responses to climate change scenarios or snowmelt.
